Learning objectiveTo understand the basic principles of analytical chemistry. To get acquainted with the principles and applications of important routine methods of instrumental food analysis (UV/VIS, IR, NMR, MS, AAS, GC, HPLC).
ContentFundamentals: Chemical concentrations. The analytical process (sampling, sample preparation, calibration, measurement, statistical evaluation of analytical results). Errors in quantitative analysis. Important parameters of an analytical procedure (accuracy, precision, limit of detection, sensitivity, specificity/selectivity).

Methods: Optical spectroscopy (basic principles, UV/VIS, IR,NMR, MS, and atomic absorption spectroscopy). Chromatography (GC, HPLC).
Lecture notesThe lectures are supplemented with handouts.
