Fractionation of the unsaponifiable. Analysis of sterols, erythrodiol and uvaol, stigmastadiene, aliphatic alcohols, waxes and ethyl esters. Determination of 2-glyceryl monopalmitate content. Analysis of fatty acids and triglycerides.

Item 4: Sensory assessment of virgin olive oil. Specific vocabulary for virgin olive oil. General methodology.

Theoretical classes: The fundamental method is expository, supported by the use of the blackboard and video projector. Active student participation in class will be promoted at all times.

Laboratory practices: Students will be made aware of the importance of applying good laboratory practices, particularly in compiling all work and experiences conducted in the laboratory in a personal laboratory notebook. This will significantly enhance their performance and benefit. During the development of the practices, efforts will be made to address the students' particular difficulties as well as to emphasize the concepts and ideas related to the practice in question. The guidance provided to students will be advisory, avoiding turning the practice into a mindless exercise devoid of value. Additionally, the laboratory will aim to establish a more personal relationship with the student.

Quizzes: Students will study each topic of the course (topics 1-3), with each topic having one or two quizzes that include questions about the main concepts to be acquired. Each quiz will be uploaded, with answers, to the PLATEA teaching platform at the end of the designated study period for each topic. At the end of this period, students will complete a self-assessment exercise on the PLATEA teaching platform, with several days provided for this task. The grade from this exercise will be part of the course evaluation.

Self-assessment exercises: For topics 1-3 of the Program, students must complete a self-assessment exercise through the virtual teaching platform PLATEA, which will be evaluated and considered for the final course grade. These exercises will be completed outside of class. Students will have a specified time to complete them, and at the end, they will receive the solutions to their questions and their grade.

The distribution of virtual/in-person teaching hours by topic is as follows:

• Topic 1: 4 hours (virtual theory) + 1 hour (in-person theory) + 2 hours (virtual AADs) + 1 hour (in-person AADs)
• Topic 2: 3 hours (virtual theory) + 1 hour (in-person theory) + 3 hours (virtual AADs) + 1 hour (in-person AADs)
• Topic 3: 2 hours (virtual theory) + 2 hours (in-person theory) + 2 hours (virtual AADs) + 1 hour (in-person AADs)

Topic 4 is covered throughout the sensory analysis practices.

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

• Exam: At the end of the course, a written exam will be conducted covering the content taught in theory classes and developed in seminars and self-assessment exercises. To pass the course, a minimum grade of 4.5 must be obtained on the exam (50% of the final grade).

• Practices. Two types of practices will be carried out: a) chemical analysis practices in the laboratory, and b) sensory analysis practices. Attendance at all practice sessions is mandatory; therefore, it will not be possible to pass the course without having completed them. They cannot be made up or validated by any other activity. In the case of a justified absence from any session, the student may compensate for it by taking a practical exam on a date arranged with the instructor. Regarding evaluation, sensory analysis practices will be graded solely based on attendance. On the other hand, at the end of the chemical analysis practices, students will prepare a practice notebook, which will be evaluated according to the results obtained and their discussion. If the grade for the chemical analysis practice notebook is below 5, the student must take a practical exam on the date set for the theory exam in the Extraordinary Session. The final grade for practices (25% of the final grade) will be calculated considering the percentage of hours dedicated to chemical analysis and sensory analysis practices in the overall course.

• Self-assessment exercises: These will be conducted on the virtual teaching platform within the designated timeframe. Students can choose when to start them within that period, and they will have a limited time to complete them (20% of the final grade).

• Participation in activities: Completion of self-assessment exercises and attendance at seminars will be taken into account (5% of the final grade).
