COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course objectives

Acquisition of basic knowledge and application of laboratory methods and techniques for isolation of fragrant constituents which are used in fragrant preparations creation.

Course enrolment requirements and entry competences required for the course

Enrolled in or passed the course Perfumes and Cosmetics

Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course (4 to 10 learning outcomes)

After passing the course students will be able to:
- perform independently laboratory exercises according to laboratory procedures
- set up appropriate apparatus for performing isolation of natural ingredients which are used in creation of fragrant preparations
- apply basic laboratory procedures and techniques for isolation of natural ingredients which are used in creation of fragrant preparations and cosmetics
- propose laboratory procedures for isolation of natural ingredients from plant material based on knowledge gained throughout lectures (connect theoretical knowledge with experimental work)

Course content broken down in detail by weekly class schedule (syllabus)

Exercises (1 hour weekly joined together in 5 lab periods):
1. Isolation of fragrant compounds from flowers (such as lavender, broom…) by hydrodistillation – obtaining of flower” oil
2. Extraction of fragrant compounds from flowers in Soxhlet apparatus – obtaining of concrete
3. Hydrodistillation of concrete – obtaining of so-called concrete oil

Quality assurance methods that ensure the acquisition of exit competences

Monitoring of quality assurance will be performed at three levels:
(1) University Level, conducting surveys of students on teaching quality;
(2) Faculty Level, by Quality Control Committee;
(3) Lecturer’s Level, monitoring and accepting suggestions of students and colleagues
