Within the subject, students will be informed about various scenarios that may occur in adulteration of important food commodities, products and nutraceuticals; potential health risks for consumers will be discussed as well. Attention will be also paid to the importance of traceability in chain agricultural production - processing / production - transport / storage - distribution. Classic procedures of proof of a fraud as well as strategies of authentication based on recent laboratory technologies will be presented. Case studies demonstrating real examples from practice will be shown as a part of lessons.
Aim of the course -
Last update: TAJ323 (28.08.2013)

Students will be able to:

  • Critically assess reasons and consequences of food and nutraceuticals fraud, from both economical and health perspective.
  • Be well informed on analytical procedures used for proof of food and nutraceuticals authentication.
  • Be well informed on approaches used for food traceability.
  • Propose procedures for detection of food and nutraceuticals adulteration on a scenario of a case study.
