| Short description: | The newest qualitative, quantitative and instrumental methods used in laboratory analysis related to ecotrophology. Factors influencing analytical results, analytical errors. The purposefulness of using food analytics and feed materials of plant and animal origin as well as biological materials. Methods for assessing the content of basic nutrients, minerals and anti-nutritive substances. |
| Full description: | W trakcie kursu przedstawione zostaną różne metody analityczne stosowane w ekotrofologii. Tematyka wykładów i ćwiczeń dotyczy aspektów teoretycznych i The course will present various analytical methods used in ecotrophology. The subject of lectures and exercises concerns theoretical and practical aspects related to broadly understood analytics in ecotrophology. The lecture contents concern the theoretical basis of various methods of qualitative and quantitative analysis, risk factors, analytical errors or the use of laboratory animals. During the classes students will practically perform basic chemical markings related to the analysis of materials of plant and animal origin: determination of basic nutrients, energy, macro- and micronutrients, amino acids and other key compounds. |

| Learning outcomes: | After course completion In area of knowledge student: 1. is able to list and characterize the basic analytical methods used in ecotrophology 2. can point out critical points and list ways of limiting possible analytical errors In area of skills student: 1. can properly select and perform basic analyzes of plant and animal materials taking into account the purpose of the analysis 2. can prepare a report on the conducted experiments 3. is able to plan a comprehensive chemical assessment of biological materials in terms of purpose and risk In area of social competences: 1. is aware of the risk and can assess the effects of erroneously performed activities 2. can cooperate in a team by adopting established functions 3. is aware of the need to constantly improve their qualifications and update knowledge in the field of chemical analysis |
| Assessment methods and assessment criteria: | The student is obliged to systematically work on the exercises - preparation and presentation of properly prepared reports from the analyzes made. Additionally, he must get a positive grade from two tests / tests on the subject of the exercises. Passing the lecture - 60 minute final test (multiple choice and open questions). The average grade in the subject is 60% of the pass mark and 40% of the tutorial grade. |
