Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Several phytochemical classes of primary and secondary metabolites are present in food and they explain organoleptical properties ( bitterness, sapidity, taste,colour, odour..) as well as physiological properties (antioxidant, hypocholesterolemic, stimulant., oestrogenic, antimicrobial..) or toxic effects ( carcinogenic, cardiotoxic...). The stability of food is also dependent on the presence of the chemical content.
Phytochemical introduction and primary metabolites
Pharmacognosy (partim 1) is mainly focused on phytochemistry: presntation of various kinds of primary (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins ) and mainly secondary metabolites (phenylpropanoids: lignans, flavonoids, coumarins.., terpenoids and steroids, alkaloids...)
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Provide informations about several primary ( biopolymers and omega-3 and -6 triglycerides ) and secondary metabolites (shikimates: phenylpropanoids, coumarins, lignans, flavonoids and tannins, terpenoids and steroids, alkaloids...)present in food in order to analyse and increase the value of food
Phytochemical introduction and primary metabolites
The Pharmacognosie partim I course aims to provide resources for the future pharmacist in the following Key Learning Outcomes (KLO): Pharmaceutical Expertise (1), Preparation of medicines (2), Health Care Consulting (3), Management of work (5), Meaning of responsibility (6), Quality management (7).
