Vsebina:
Content (Syllabus outline):

Podiplomskim študentom zagotoviti znanje na področju sistema zagotavljanja pristnosti in sledljivosti živil.
Sistemi sledljivosti nam podaja informacije o pristnosti in izvoru proizvoda v verigi preskrbe s hrano. Prav na področju sledljivosti živil so se pojavile zahteve po bolj sofisticiranih instrumentih in primernih analitskih metodah, ki omogočajo boljše kvalitativne in kvantitativne rezultate. Tako raziskovalci vključeni v sodobno znanost o živilih potrebujejo ustrezno znanje za delo na naprednih analitskih orodjih, da se lahko soočijo s kompleksnostjo samega problema in ustvarjajo rezultate na racionalen način.

V okviru predmeta bomo predstavili različne pristope in metode, ki se uporabljajo pri sledljivosti na področju živilstva:
- Podane bodo teoretične osnove ter regulative, norme, certificiranje in standardi, ki vključujejo sledljivost.
- Predstavljene bodo vrste potvorb, ki se pojavljajo v živilih, in načini reševanja problemov z naprednimi analitskimi metodami, ki se navezujejo na kakovost in varnost živil.
- Predstavili bomo principe in aplikacije uporabe stabilnih izotopov lahkih elementov (H, C, N, O in S), težjih elementov (Sr) in elementov v sledovih, ki se uporabljajo pri določanju pristnosti in sledljivosti živil.
- Podane bodo osnove in principi delovanja masne spektrometrije in NMR ter meroslovni principi, ki zagotavljajo sledljive in primerljive rezultate meritev.
- Sledila bo predstavitev ovrednotenja, dokumentiranja in analize pridobljenih podatkov na področju pristnosti in sledljivosti.
- Uporaba naprednih statističnih metod kot so linearna diskriminantna analiza, analiza glavnih osi.
- Uporaba prostorskega modeliranja vključno z uporabo geografskega informacijskega sistema (GIS) in izdelavo »isoscapes« na lokalnem, regionalnem in svetovnem nivoju. Principi prostorskega modeliranja bodo predstavljeni na osnovnem, teoretično-metodološkem nivoju.
- V okviru predmeta bodo predstavljeni tudi drugi načini sledljivosti, ki se uporabljajo na področju živilstva, kot so npr. črtne kode, radiofrekvenčna identifikacija (RFID).

Predstavitev primerov iz prakse in industrije.

The course is open to graduate students who wish to understand better systems and concepts relating to food authenticity and traceability.
Traceability systems provide information on the history, authenticity and the origin of a product in the supply food chain. Improvements in this field are increasing rapidly as is the demand for robust analytical methods and strategies that can deliver better qualitative and quantitative results. This is the reality for many working in modern food science, so it is essential to have sufficient knowledge to make the most of what these technologies have to offer.

The postgraduate course will explore all aspects of food traceability including the following:
- Theoretical background and overview on legislation, norms, certification and standards involving traceability.
- The different types of fraud and the opportunities to identify fraud using advanced analytical methods and the link between food quality and safety.
- The principles and use of stable isotopes of light elements (H, C, N, O and S), non-traditional isotopes (Sr) and trace elements in determining authenticity.
- Principles of mass spectrometry and NMR techniques. Validation of analytical methods; Traceability and comparability of the results.
- How to evaluate, document and analyse food authenticity and traceability data.
- The use of advanced statistical methods such as principal component analysis and linear discrimination analysis.
- The use of spatial modelling including the geographical information system (GIS) approach and "isoscapes" on the local, regional and global scale. It will also provide students with an understanding of the principles of spatial modelling at the basic, theoretical and methodological level.
- The course will also cover other ways of tracing food that are used in the food industry, such as barcodes, radio frequency identification (RFID).

Case studies including industrial aspect.
