Content

This elective module exercises are focused on instrumental analytical chemistry in food and biotechnology. The following 7 examples are included:

Analysis of:
- Major and trace elements in honey samples
- Inorganic and organic arsenic species in rice
- Pesticides in apple samples
- Nitrate in natural water
- Products and intermediates in fermentation biotechnology samples
- Coumarin in tonka beans (including internal standard synthesis by flow chemistry)
- Determination of measurement uncertainty
Previous knowledge expected

Interest in chemical analytical processes
Previous laboratory experience recommended
Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

After successfully completing this elective module, students will be able to

1.Describe practical analysis concepts and their methodological principles (transmission and fluorescence photometry, liquid chromatography, electrophoresis, immunochemistry, absorption and CD spectroscopy, mass spectrometry).
2.Select biochemical analysis methods appropriately for defined research questions, apply them, present the data obtained professionally, calculate relevant biochemical parameters from them, and interpret them correctly.
3.Independently apply the acquired knowledge and the associated practical skills both theoretically and experimentally in an analytical-biochemical environment.
