Last update: TAJ323 (25.03.2014)

The course is focused on the chemical requirements on food safety and food materials. Food contaminants (processing contaminants, environmental contaminants, pesticide residues, natural toxins and mycotoxins), as well as food additives (preservatives, antioxidants, sweeteners, colorants, thickeners, etc.), the presence of respective compounds in food, the possibility of their reduction / elimination and possible health risk to the consumer will be introduced. For the individual groups of substances the current opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, legislation, etc. will be presented.

Aim of the course -

Last update: TAJ323 (25.03.2014)

Students will be able to:

assess chemical food safety.

design procedures to eliminate the possibility of undesirable substances in food during food processing and storage.

design ways to reduce exposure of human population to xenobiotics from the diet.
