The course is based on the knowledge obtained from the studies of analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and food chemistry. In the first phase, quality assurance of experimental data is discussed; the needs of routine/control laboratories and those involved in food research, biotechnologies and many other areas of science are addressed. The following sessions present not only ´classic´ but also modern analytical strategies applicable for the determination of foodstuffs and various natural products, including moisture/dry weight, minerals and all the key nutrients such as proteins, saccharides and lipids (including accompanying compounds). Methods for the determination of vitamins and other essential components are also widely discussed. The subject of the presentations also includes methods for the analysis of significant flavour compounds, food additives, natural toxins, and various groups of contaminants. Analytical strategies are always illustrated with examples of interesting applications (e.g. food adulteration). The purpose is to demonstrate the importance of a comprehensive consideration when choosing an analytical approach.

The examination consists of a written and an oral part. The written part is compulsory, and the oral part can be taken only after obtaining at least 50 points from the written part. If less than 50 points are obtained, the exam is graded F. If you fail the oral part, you can repeat only this part. A condition for the award of credit is passing a credit test in chemical calculations. Last update: Pulkrabová Jana (14.04.2025)
