Course objectives
Students will learn about toxic components (natural and contaminant) in foods, their origin and entrance into the food chains, their metabolism and health risk. At the end of the course students should be able to understand and explain health risk related to toxic components in foods and work with information on public health.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to:
- identify toxicologically relevant substances in foods;
- describe properties of selected groups of toxicologically relevant substances;
- describe mechanisms of synthesis and mechanisms of action of selected toxicologically relevant substances in foods;
- propose measures to reduce the impact of toxicologically relevant substances on human health;
- identify new potential risks linked to new foods and to other commodities on the Czech market.
