The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications, preparing students to solve real analytical challenges in the field of environmental and food chemistry. It focuses on the issue of determining important biologically
active substances and contaminants of the environment and food using modern instrumental techniques. Students will be introduced to the following key areas:
1. Explanation of the causes and possible solutions to the problems that are connected in practice with the use of liquid and gas chromatography in connection with various detectors.
2. Current trends in the analysis of environmental and process contaminants, pesticides, mycotoxins, cannabinoids, volatile substances and vitamins.
3. Risk assessment focusing on assessing human exposure to contaminants with an emphasis on biological monitoring methods.
4. Basics of studying the metabolome of biological systems and its application in analytical chemistry.

To obtain the course credit, it is necessary to complete a group project in the form of a short presentation that summarizes several case studies in the analysis of selected biologically active substances and critically evaluates the suitability of the used procedures. Obtaining the course credit is a necessary prerequisite for taking the exam, which consists of a written part (test) and an oral examination. Last update: Dvořáková Darina (05.12.2024)
