| Kursusdatoer | One (short version) or two (long version) week period in June every second year, next in 2012 or following the BSc/MSc block version Quantitative Bio-Spectroscopy 270103 in block 2 every year (2011 start November 21) | ||||||||||||||
| Kursus resumé | After completed course the students will be able to understand various spectroscopic methods (electron, vibrational and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy). Furthermore, exploratory data analysis using chemometric methods will be an integrated part of the course. Overall, the course will focus on how to obtain knowledge about advantages and disadvantages of spectroscopic measurements on food, about operating spectroscopic equipment and about handling data quantitatively. | ||||||||||||||

| Through lectures and laboratory exercises, the course will introduce the participants to the most widely used spectroscopic techniques spanning a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum including ultraviolet, visual, fluorescence, near infrared, infrared, Raman and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The course will emphasize practical use of spectroscopy and discuss problems, pitfalls and tricks of the trade in relation to quantitative use of spectroscopy within the food science area including for example spectroscopic calibration and optimal sample presentation to spectrometer | |||||||||||||||
