About the Program

Food Chemistry is an applied subject that draws from many disciplines, promoting interdisciplinary thinking and working methods. Analytical chemistry questions play an important role, but microbiological, biochemical, botanical, and food law aspects are also significant. Food chemists are scientifically trained specialists in a specific discipline of chemistry who are primarily committed to consumer protection. Their goals include determining the composition of complex food products and their raw materials, investigating reactions of food ingredients during storage and processing, detecting undesirable natural components and contaminants, developing analytical methods, verifying additives, and comprehensively evaluating results according to food and environmental law. The program is divided into basic studies (1st-4th semester, first examination section) and main studies (5th-9th semester, second examination section) with a scientific thesis (diploma thesis). The course is not modularized.
