Level of Course Unit

Second Cycle

Objectives of the Course

Intrumental analysis techniques have been used for determination of plant constituents, recently. These tecniques are fundamental in biology, agriculture and food technology. In this lecture, student will learn theoritical basis of intrumental tools and will be able to use these equipments. Plant aromatic contituents, pesticide residues and other components will easily be determined at the result of the class.
