The graduate of the course will gain a broader overview of the problems associated with food production. The overview includes newly developed sample preparation procedures and promising methods of analysis, including the advantages and disadvantages of individual procedures and methods for selected important groups of analytes.  

The course is taught in the form of: Lecture - 2 lessons per week. The LMS Moodle e-learning system is available to teachers and students. 

The course ends with a written exam, the results of which are discussed in an oral exam with any additional questions. The minimum number of points for passing the exam is 50 out of 100 possible.

The course includes the following current issues of current food analysis: Food safety in terms of the occurrence of undesirable contaminants of inorganic and organic origin, including toxins and hormonal preparations. Occurrence of dangerous diseases and their detection, parasitic, bacterial and viral infections. Authenticity and adulteration of food, methods used in this field and European legislation.
