Learning Goals
This UC intends to enable students the necessary tools for the analytical control of wines by learning different techniques.
The objectives of learning are to acquire knowledge about:
1) the different methodologies of sample preparation for analysis
2) the different analytical techniques available for analysis of wines;
3) the interpretation of the results of analyzes carried out on wines;
And the acquisition of competences that include the ability to choose a methodology depending on the analyte to be evaluated and the ability to interpret analytical results and act accordingly.
At the end of this UC, students should be able to establish quality control protocols, understand their need and be able to interpret analysis results.
