Course abstract
The functional groups of organic compounds – hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino groups, which are find in natural and food products are characterizing in the course of organic chemistry. The basic components of food - proteins, carbohydrates lipids are complicated natural matters. They can be matters with several functional groups, compound junctions as well as polymer junctions. The course of organic chemistry looks at the structure and main reaction of these compounds, as well as analyzes the general natural products, determined the odour, taste, biological and energetic value of food.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
After completing the course student will have:
•extensive knowledge about composition and properties of organic compounds and natural substances forming different food products, as well as knowledge of detection, synthesis and treatment methods of organic compounds.
•skills unaided use the obtained theoretical knowledge in biochemistry and other study courses. The skills to determinate, purify and synthesize the different organic compounds were obtained.
•competence - the ability to independently access, selected, analyze and generalize information about organic compounds and natural substances forming different food products.
