      The goalThe course should enable students to become familiar with the analytical methods used to sample and chemically analyze different types of food and gain the knowledge necessary to perform the food sampling and analysis on their own.
      The outcomeThe course should enable the student to gain knowledge on how to properly take a representative sample of food, prepare it for chemical analysis, select a suitable method of analysis, perform an analysis and interpret the results obtained.
