Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In addition to food additives and flavourings, methods for the determination of food contaminants will be learned. Furthermore, the handling of analytical instruments (HPLC, GC-MS, FES. ect.), as they are routinely used in food analysis, will be learned and applied. The methods learned serve the students as a basis for planning and performing a more complex food chemical analysis (see LMC-B6).

Assessment and permitted materials

- Antestat
- Laboratory journal
- Laboratory work
- Electronic protocol

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Obligatory preliminary meeting including safety training and compulsory attendance during the whole practical course.

For food chemists, the prerequisite chain applies with the mandatory completion of LMAP-I (270154) or LMAP-II (270086) before the practical course.

The final course assessment will include the results of the mandatory application (Antestat), the results of the analyses, the quality of the implementation, and the protocol for each of the six experiments.

A total of 240 points can be achieved over six experimental days. Grades are awarded according to the following scheme:
• 1 (sehr gut): 216 - 240 points
• 2 (gut): 179.95 - 215.95 points
• 3 (befriedigend): 151.11 - 179.9 points
