Learning outcomes and their assessment
Knowledge. Students are able to show deep knowledge and understanding of the latest discoveries in the food toxicology, to classify the row material and food products containing toxic substances and to define arising toxicological problems.
Skills. Obtained skills allow realizing independent research work based on knowledge about toxic organic and inorganic substances in the row materials and products of food. Students can argue the necessary improvements in the food technology and the preservation of food to decrease the poisoning risks of consumers. Competence. Knowledge obtained in the study course allows students independently to formulate and critically to analyze complicated toxicologic problems. They can apply their own knowledge to work out the new methods of the determination of toxic substances in food, to understand the importance of ecotoxicology.
