DESCRIPTION& OBJECTIVES:

This course is designed to impart and enhance the learning and technical know-how / knowledge of MSc (Hons.) Food Science and Technology students so as to enabling them to apply different advanced chromatographic techniques for separation as well as qualitative and quantitative analysis of plant food components/ingredients, different food samples and food products  (beverages, cereals, vegetable oils, bakery and dairy products). In addition to focusing on basics of chromatography, important advanced techniques such as High Performance Liquid Chromatography, (HPLC), Gas Chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SCFC) will be covered. Comprehensive details about introduction, principal, instrumentation and applications of each of the above chromatographic techniques will be discussed. Knowledge about recent developments and the trouble shooting in these chromatographic techniques will also be covered.

LEARNING OUTCFOMES:

Overall, the students will acquire knowledge and technical know-how about the basics of chromatography to advancements in the specified area. They will acquire knowledge about principles, instrumentation and applications of important chromatographic techniques such as HPLC, LC-MS, GC, GC-MS, and Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC). After acquiring the technical knowledge and successful accomplishment of this course students will be able to apply these chromatographic techniques on practical grounds for the qualitative and quantitative analysis and characterization of different plant food and processed foods for their /ingredients/components/bioactives profiling and compositional analysis, especially in food chemistry, food science and technology and food science areas.
