Virtual Chemistry Lab
The objectives of the Virtual Chemistry Laboratory are to:
- Familiarize students with analytical methods used for the qualitative and quantitative estimation of chemical constituents in food and biological samples.
- Develop an understanding of the principles, procedures, and applications of food chemistry and biochemical analysis.
- Provide practical exposure to laboratory techniques for the estimation of caffeine, amino acids, cholesterol, sugars, urea, capsaicin, embelin, oxytocin, and other analytes.
- Train students in data collection, calculations, result interpretation, and report preparation.
- Enhance knowledge of food quality assessment, nutritional analysis, and contaminant detection.
- Promote safe laboratory practices and scientific problem-solving skills through virtual experimentation.
- Bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications in food science, chemistry, biotechnology, and related fields.
