Annotation -
Within the course students in individual teams will focus on a selected food for which they will propose an analytical procedure and the goal of evaluating qualitative parameters (content of natural components and possible contaminants). It will also focus on assessing the influence of relevant reactions in the given food. The aim of this course is to teach students to work in a team, plan and discuss specific experiments, perform validations of analytical methods and applications on a real set of samples, implement food legislation and interpret their results in a final report and presentation.

Teaching methods -

Students are divided into individual teams and prepare a plan of relevant experiments concerning the comprehensive assessment of the assigned commodity using scientific literature. After presenting their plan, they work on these experiments and continuously consult their results and any problems with the assistant. Midway through the semester, they present their results and potential issues and actively discuss them with other students. At the end of the laboratories, they prepare a final report and defend their results again in the form of a presentation.
