LABORATORY PRACTICES

1. Analysis of olive oils. Determination of the commercial category for different samples of olive/olive-pomace oil and assessment of their purity. Students will be determine the following parameters: acidity, peroxide value, K ₂₃₂, K ₂₇₀, fatty acid content, volatile matter and humidity, iodine value and saponification value.

2.  Food analysis. (a) Determination of the sodium chloride content in butter or margarine; (b) Determination of starch in banana: maturity index; (c) Reducing sugars test; reducing sugar content in jelly.

Integration of SDGs

The contents of this subject connect with the SDG-3, "Good Health and Well-Being", and the SDG-12, "Responsible Consumption and Production". Throughout the course, and especially in the first topic of the Program and its corresponding hours dedicated to Specific Activities, students will be made aware of the relevant role that the food model and, in general, of consumption plays in promoting a healthy life, preserve the natural environment and ensure sustainable development of society.

- Lectures: primarily expository method, which is relied on the use of the whiteboard and video projector. At all times an active student participation will be promoted in class.

- Lab practices: students will be educated about the importance of implementing good laboratory practices and, in particular, to bring together all the work and experiments carried out in the laboratory on a personal laboratory notebook. This will greatly enhance their performance and achievement. Taken into account the maturity of the students , one of the goals is that students acquire certain d egree of independence in the accomplishment of the practices, properly managing the available time and making decisions when analyzing the samples submitted. During the course of the practices, the particular difficulties of the students will be solved and the concepts and ideas relating to the practice in question will be stressed. A more personal relationship with the student will be sought in the laboratory.

- Seminars: these will be conducted to support lectures. The teacher will present a topic for a limited time and then the students will work on the resolution of outlined issues and / or exercises.

- Resolution of questionnaires/self-assessment exercises: throughout the course, the teacher will propose several exercises to the students, which will consist of short questions of application of the theory. The students will resolve them at home. These exercises will be given to students, collected in a proper time limit, corrected by the teacher, returned to the students and discussed in the seminars.

- Teamwork: a number of issues will be offered to the students for working as a team. These works will complement the material presented in class. They will be prepared by the work team and exposed in class. By choosing the topics that will be offered to the students, it is intended that they become aware of the importance of being informed regarding food and its impact on the environment.

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

. Theory exam : the knowledge that students have acquired about the different analytical determinations that are usually carried out on olive oils and other foods of the Mediterranean diet for their quality and purity control, as well as the application that makes the same to specific cases.

Assessed skills: CE16

. Questionnaires: it will be assessed if the students have acquired and developed the ability to think critically and solve problems related to food analysis and, especially, with possible adulterations in olive oils.

Assessed skills: CE16

. Laboratory practices: the development of the students in the development of the practices, the results obtained in each of the analyses, the discussion of results and the laboratory notebook will be assessed. The practices will consist of analytical determinations explained in class, for which the knowledge that the students have on the basis of the same will also be valued.

Assessed skills: CE16; P2

. Preparation and exhibition of works: the correct use of chemical language, the organization of ideas and clarity of expression in the preparation of the work and during the exhibition will be valued. The way in which students behave in the subsequent debate will also be valued.

Assessed skills: B4; B11

Methodology and activities

The
organization of the practices will depend on the health guidelines
of the moment and the capacity of the laboratory
       
       
       
       
        

Recording by any means of face-to-face or synchronous face-to-face activities is expressly prohibited for students.

  Evaluation system

The evaluation system will be maintained for both ordinary and extraordinary calls. It will be necessary to obtain a minimum score of 4 (out of 10) in the written exam and lab practices to access the weighted grade.

Resources

For interaction with the group of students the teaching platform will be used as well as the Google Suite resources . The VPN will be used to connect to the UJA licensed software. Electronic bibliographic resources w ill be used.

Methodology and activities

Recording by any means of face-to-face or synchronous face-to-face activities is expressly prohibited for students.

  Evaluation system

The two written tests will be carried out using the teaching platform or a Google Suite resource in synchronous mode. The first of them will take place towards the middle of the class period, in an hour dedicated to AADs and the second on the official date established for the examination of the subject. The evaluation system will be maintained for both ordinary and extraordinary calls. In the extraordinary call, the two written tests may be recovered.
