Course content
|
Techniques for proper sampling as well as methods for extraction and purification of target analytes are discussed. Particular attention is paid to modern methods for determining the main macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and lipids). The latest methods for the determination of water/dry matter, minerals, vitamins and other essential substances are widely discussed. Modern methods for the determination of technologically important compounds, sensory active substances, naturally occurring antinutritive substances, toxins and various groups of additives and contaminants in feed, agricultural products and food are also discussed.

Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to deepen the knowledge acquired in the subjects of analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and chemistry of natural substances. The individual teaching blocks are focused not only on classical, but especially on modern methods of analysis of important components of agricultural products of plant and animal origin, feed and food. One of the main objectives of the course is to teach students a comprehensive approach in choosing the appropriate analytical technique for a given purpose.
The student will be familiar with the classical and modern methods of analysis of important components of agricultural products of plant and animal origin, feed and food. He/she will be able to comprehensively evaluate the situation and select a suitable analytical technique for the given purpose.
