Course unit content

First lessons are about a brief summary of NMR spettrometry theory with mention of instruments and experiments features used in food research. Then sample preparation steps for NMR analysis are explained with regards to the different food matrices. Methods for NMR analysis: molecules identification and statistics for metabolomics. These argouments are implemented by using specific examples form literature.
Last few lessons are dedicated to pratical tutorials in laboratory: sample preparation, use of NMR instrument and data analysis.
