Teaching Methodologies
Theoretical classes using audiovisual and interactive discussions between students and teacher, using practical classes to strengthen the curricular unit content compreension.
Evalution: Theoretical – 1 test (65%) + one paper (5%); practical – 1 test (30%)
Students must have evaluation equal or higher then 10values in either pratical and theorical component. The final not eill be obtain by the weighted average of the two components.
Theoretical 70%; Practical 30%.
Learning Results
The analysis of foods and food products is a very important area of science that studies the food, since it operates in various segments of quality control, processing and storage of processed foods. Thus it is intended to provide a solid knowledge of the principles and concepts and chemical analyzes
Give understand the theoretical foundations of most analytical techniques used in quality control of food Teach the basic theoretical concepts of analytical instrumentation, basic and fundamental notions about the alidation of nalytical methods – laboratory classes
Encourage the correct interpretation of the results
Raise awareness of the vital role that food available to consumers pose to the health status and risks performed by them
