LABORATORY PRACTICES

1. Analysis of olive oils. Assessment of chemical and physico-chemical parameters of commercial olive oil categories: acidity, peroxide value, K ₂₃₂, K ₂₇₀, fatty acid composition, 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.

. Theory classes: fundamentally expository method, supported by the use of the blackboard and video projector. Student participation will be actively encouraged at all times during class.
. Laboratory practices: students will be made aware of the importance of applying good laboratory practices and, in particular, of documenting all the work and experiences carried out in the laboratory in a personal laboratory notebook. This will greatly enhance their performance and understanding. Given the maturity level of the students in this course, efforts will be made to help them acquire a certain degree of independence in conducting the practices, effectively managing the available time, and making decisions when analyzing the presented samples. During the development of the practices, efforts will be made to address individual students' specific difficulties and emphasize the concepts and ideas related to the practice at hand. The instructions given to the students will be of an orientative nature, avoiding the practice becoming a mechanical and valueless task. Additionally, efforts will be made to establish a more personal relationship with the students in the laboratory.
. Seminars: support seminars will be conducted to complement the theory classes. The professor will present a specific topic for a limited time, and then the students will work on solving the questions and/or exercises proposed.
. Self-assessment exercises: several exercises will be proposed to the students throughout the course, consisting of short questions applying the theory. These exercises will be carried out on the PLATEA teaching platform outside of class. They will be available to the students for a certain period, and once completed, they will be corrected and graded. The seminar hours will be used to discuss and share the solutions to the different questions.
. Preparation and presentation of assignments: several topics that complement the material taught in class will be offered to the students for them to prepare in groups and present in class. The primary objective of preparing these topics is to raise awareness among the students about the importance of nutrition in health, its impact on the environment, and the need to be well-informed in this regard.

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 acquired by the students regarding the different analytical determinations commonly carried out in olive oils and other foods of the Mediterranean diet for quality and purity control will be assessed, as well as their application to specific cases.

Evaluated competencies: CE16

. Self-assessment exercises: the ability of students to think critically and solve problems related to food analysis, particularly in identifying possible adulterations in olive oils, will be evaluated.

Evaluated competencies: CE16

. Laboratory practices: the students' performance in carrying out the practices, the results obtained in each analysis, the discussion of results, and the laboratory notebook will be evaluated. The practices will involve analytical determinations explained in class, so the students' understanding of the underlying principles will also be assessed.

Evaluated competencies: CE16; P2

. Preparation and presentation of assignments: the correct use of chemical language, organization of ideas, and clarity of expression in the preparation of the work and during the presentation will be evaluated. The students' ability to engage in the subsequent debate will also be assessed.

Evaluated competencies: 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.
