Phytopharmaceuticals: Chemistry and Analysis

Phytopharmaceutical Chemistry and Analysis course included in undergraduate program of Herbal Sciences and Technologies provides the student with the fundamental notions in order to manage and apply the most appropriate method for the identification and analysis of phytopharmaceutical compounds. Based on the theoretical concepts provided during the lectures and thanks to the practical training in laboratory, the aim of the course is to improve the critical skills of the student, essential for approaching and solving analytical challenges in the phytopharmaceutical field.

At the end of the course of Phytopharmaceutical Chemistry and Analysis the student will properly manage the techniques of conservation, sampling, isolation extraction and analysis of compounds in the phytopharmaceutical field. The student will be able to apply during the practical training in laboratory the acquired knowledges. The student is expected to demonstrate a critical spirit in order to obtain robust and reproducible experimental analytical data.
During the final examination, the student must also understand the proposed questions, choose and fully demonstrate the knowledge acquired during the lectures and the laboratory experiences.
