Course abstract

The aim of the study course "Organic Chemistry I" is to acquire knowledge about the structure, properties and distribution of organic compounds common in food - alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, amines, carboxylic acids and polyfunctional compounds in natural and food products. In laboratory works, they learn to prove the chemical properties of compounds.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

After studying the course, the student will have:
in-depth theoretical knowledge of the structure and properties of hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, amines, carboxylic acids, hydroxy acids and amino acids that make up food products – lectures and tests;
skills to check the properties of alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, amines, carboxylic acids and hydroxy acids – laboratory works;
competence – the ability to use independently acquired knowledge and skills to explain various processes, in connection with organic substances – independent and laboratory works.

Requirements for awarding credit points

A test can be received if:
• developed and defended all laboratory works (50%)
• successfully (at least 4 points) all tests are written (50%).

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

1. The student independently prepares for five tests, solving tasks.
2. The student independently prepares five protocols of laboratory work and after the development of the work, completes them in order to defend it.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The test is passed when five tests have been successfully written (at least 4 points) and all laboratory works have been defended.
