Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

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 ) metabolites 

Phytochemical introduction to secondary 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
