The aim of this course is to acquaint students with modern laboratory methods of food analysis. This laboratory practice is focused on the determination of various food components together with methods of analytical results evaluation. The special attention is dedicated to the experimental skills improvement of the students.
This subject is practical amendment to the "Food analysis". After finishing students are able to theoretically and practically apply various analytical methods for real analyses. Obtained experiences could by utilized for the bachelor thesis creation. |
