Obiettivi formativi
Food Safety and Security course requires basic knowledge on fundamental disciplines such as: General and Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Toxicology, and Food Chemistry. The student-based learning objectives of this course include knowledge on the food safety principles, validation and quality assurance of analytical methods applied to food contaminants and residues determination, action plans to guarantee safe food to all citizens. The general framework of EU legislation on food safety and frauds counteraction will be introduced providing students with practical tools for real-world application of basic concepts.

Expected learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding
At the end of the course, the student demonstrates that:
- Know the aspects concerning the occurrence and formation of food contaminants, the principles of accreditation and quality assurance in analytical methods applied to food safety, the principles of method validation and major guidelines to plan effective and reliable performance parameter evaluation, legislation framework and pillar for EU food safety activities.
- Know aspects related to methodologies applied to food safety assessment: chromatographic methods, mass spectrometric methods, and sensors.
Applying knowledge and understanding
Achievement of the ability to apply knowledge and understanding in order to orient oneself appropriately and profitably within the profession even when, in the light of new knowledge and scientific evidence, guiding and / or reference parameters have not yet been defined. Furthermore, the student will be able to describe the parameters that define the safety of the different foods, the quality and reliability of activities related to the analytical determination of contaminants and residues.
Making judgments
Ability to make rational choices and evaluate which, among different methodologies (screening approaches or molecular level methodologies) for contaminants and residues determination, are most appropriate in the contexts of food safety policies. He/Her will make choices on the basis of knowledge and skills acquired during the course from different points of view: quality control procedures to ensure refearability of measures, accreditation, method validation, security concepts.
Communication skills
Acquisition of fundamental skills in written and oral communication in English useful for spreading objective scientific knowledge and skills acquired during the course and the activities proposed by the course.
Learning skills
Clarity in knowledge leads to refine the ability to evaluate one's level of preparation in the field of study, with the relative development of autonomy on the assessment of the need to face subsequent training levels.

Modalità di insegnamento
Blended
The course will be delivered through different modalities in an integrated ambient by e-learning (documents and lessons on Moodle), in presence and in a blended class configuration.
On Moodle students will find: video-lessons; practical exercises, self-assessment tests, scientific literature, seminars and webinars dealing with the discipline. All material will be presented to the students and contents discussed through forum and in presence. A selection of video-lessons from Visiting Professors will be also made available.
The main objective of this teaching modality is to create a continuum between different situations: classroom, self-learning and critical discussion.- Oggetto:
