Single-Course Danish 2.5 ECTS

Laboratory course for Bachelor of Engineering in food safety and quality

Overall Course Objectives

An impressive array of methods for determining quantitative content of chemical systems is available. Students of food safety and quality need to develop an appreciation for the usage of these tools in solving analytical problems. The aim of the course is to give the students a basic knowledge of elementary laboratory methods, non-instrumental methods as well as some instrumental methods in quantitative analysis.

Learning Objectives

  • Explain and apply good experimental practice to handle quantitatively solids and liquids.
  • Estimate samples and chemical reagents
  • Arrange experiments and perform the experiments carefully in the laboratory.
  • Perform volumetric titration using a classic glass burette.
  • Use statistical methods to evaluate results
  • Calculate own results with correct number of significant digits and relate results to food content
  • Perform quantitative analysis using spectrophotometry.
  • Show good laboratory behaviour
  • Perform simple chemical analysis according to a specific recipe.
  • Apply datasheets and simple formula for data handling
