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.
