After having successfully completed this course, students will be familiar with the basic principles of chemical food analyses, and are able to apply this knowledge in practice. They will know the guidelines for appropriate sampling of foods, and the most important physico-chemical parameters in food analysis. Students will have basic knowledge and competence in the area of chemical food analysis, and will be able to use these skills also in routine analysis of foods.
