Course abstract

In the study course "Organic Chemistry I" students acquire knowledge about the structure, properties and distribution of organic compounds distributed in food - alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, amines, carboxylic acids and polyfunctional compounds in natural and food products; learning to demonstrate the chemical properties of compounds.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

After the course studies the student will have:
in-depth theoretical knowledge of the structure and properties of food-forming hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, amines, carboxylic acids, hydroxy acids and amino acids - lectures and tests;
skills to test the properties of alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, ketones, amines, carboxylic acids and hydroxy acids - laboratory works;
competence - ability to use independently acquired knowledge and skills to explain various processes, in relation to organic substances - independent and laboratory work.

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.
