Instrumental food analysis,
This course introduces the principles and applications of instrumental methods used in the analysis of food composition, quality, and safety. Learners will study advanced techniques such as spectrophotometry, chromatography (HPLC, GC), mass spectrometry, electrophoresis, and atomic absorption spectroscopy. The course emphasizes the role of these instruments in detecting nutrients, additives, contaminants, and toxins, ensuring compliance with food standards and regulations. Participants will also explore sample preparation methods, calibration procedures, and validation of analytical results to guarantee accuracy and reliability. Practical sessions and case studies highlight how instrumental analysis is applied in food industries, research laboratories, and quality control units. By the end of the course, learners will develop the skills to select suitable analytical techniques, prepare food samples correctly, interpret data, and contribute to ensuring food safety and consumer protection. المعهد الفني الصحي
