Annotation
Laboratory exercises are focused on the application of modern methods of analysis of selected components of the food used in everyday practice. The content of each exercise is in line with the current requirements of routine food analysis; however the tasks reflecting the most recent trends are also included. Students perform measurements on devices and equipment to gain experience with the practical realization of analytical procedures, data evaluation and subsequent processing into the desired form in accordance with legislative requirements.
