Course objectives
The aim of the subject is to learn about the role of nutrients and other compounds present in the animal and plant foods and how they change during the processing and culinary preparation and also with the methods of instrumental chemical analysis in determination of nutritional components and xenobiotics in foods. At the end of the course student should be able to repeat and evaluate how the nutrients contents of food is altered by food production, food processing, distribution and serving methods.
