The course is focused on chemical and microbiological food safety. Various groups of chemicals and micro-organisms in food and food raw materials is described, with accent on determination of a number of these compounds (micro-organisms). Also the relevant Czech and EU legislation is introduced. several possibilities how to reduce or eliminate some mentioned contaminants from the food chain are also discussed.
Aim of the course -
Last update: TAJ323 (16.08.2013)

Students will be able to:

  • assess chemical and microbiological food safety.
  • propose the procedures to eliminate the possibilities of formation of undesirable compounds in food during food processing and storage.
