Food analysis and chemistry
• Physical, organic and biochemical properties of food constituents at the molecular level.
• Techniques (gravimetric, volumetric and spectrophotometric) used by food analysts for proteins; carbohydrates; lipids, fats oils; colloids; enzymes; vitamins, emulsifiers, acids, oxidants, antioxidants, pigments and flavors; secondary plant metabolites in food.
