Other chemical analyses

Besides the accredited methods, the laboratory carries out other chemical analyses that help determine food quality and safety, such as:

Basic physico-chemical parameters important for the quality of food products
Determination of various chemical components, especially bioactive components, in agricultural products and their processed products
Determination of pesticide residues in samples of fruit, vegetables, water and more

Teaching and services

The laboratory hosts practical classes for first-, second- and third-cycle students and research for diploma, master's and doctoral theses. Its infrastructure is also available for research and applied work by researchers from the Faculty and from other institutions.

The laboratory's analytical services matter to producers of agricultural and food products, especially of soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, to inspection authorities, to the research and academic community, and to consumers.
