Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Attendance at the preliminary discussion of the course is compulsory and is already the first part of the course. Attendance at the preliminary discussion, but an unexcused absence from the practical part will result in a negative assessment.
Unexcused absence during the course is not allowed and leads to exclusion from the course. The attendance must be fulfilled to 75%, which corresponds to 2.5 excused absences. Before beginning the practical part of the course, an exam for the respective method must be passed with 50% of the maximum score. Failure to pass the exam results in the corresponding method not being carried out. The test will be graded 5 (practical work, final report). The answers themselves are not included in the grading.
Each piece of work must be completed at the end of the course.The various sub-parts are graded and are included in the assessment as follows:
- Practical work: 30%.
- Protocol (1st delivery): 30
- Final colloquium (oral): 40 %
The course is passed with an overall grade of 4.

Students acquire the ability to critically assess their results and to discuss them based on the literature provided. The greatest possible benefit of this course (LV) will be gained by students in advanced master studies or at the end of their studies, as theoretical knowledge of food chemistry and toxicology is required. The course is therefore recommended for this group of students.Course contents: In this course the following topics are presented or worked on together: Investigation of the bioactivity/toxicity of food ingredients with modern biochemical/cellular/molecular biological methods such as cell culture, microscopy, western blot, comet assay, enzyme assays, quantitative real-time PCR etc. The LV takes place in the institute's own research laboratories.The course is divided into a preliminary discussion with laboratory safety instruction and introduction to the topic. Backgrounds and interaction of the problem are discussed. The necessary theoretical knowledge is to be acquired by self-study (of the provided literature). Through the course, students acquire practical skills that deepen their theoretical knowledge.Methods: The contents of the course will be acquired through practical exercises, discussions, an oral final colloquium, etc.
