Aims
The aim of the course is to classify, connect and develop knowledge in the fields of biology, biochemistry, inorganic, organic and analytical chemistry in order to obtain complete information about the structure and properties of natural substances and to select a suitable procedure for obtaining natural substances of suitable quality and designing a suitable method for analysis of natural substances.
After passing this course, the student acguires the overview of food production problems. Modern methods of sample preparation and principles of analytical methods used in food analysis are also part of this overview. Methods are assessed with respect to their use and advantages and disadvantages for particular kinds of important analytes.
