Kursusindhold
The basic theory behind electron spin resonance spectroscopy and the practical aspects and theory of ESR-instruments will be presented with empasis on subjects that are relevant for food studies. Special emphasis will be put on the use of spin trap, spin label and spin probe techniques, and the concomitant extraction of chemical and physical information from ESR spectra of nitroxyl radicals. The use of ESR in connection with studies of oxidation of foods initiated by metal-containing enzymes will also be covered.
 
Undervisningsform
Lectures, practical exercises and individual practical projects.
 
Målbeskrivelse
