This course focuses on the chemical composition of foods and natural products, the important properties of particular food components and their function in different types of food. A part of the lectures is dedicated to the interpretation of chemical and biochemical changes and reactions that may occur in foods under particular conditions. The topics are explained in a broader context so that the listener may understand the complexity of important processes occurring in foods.
