doctor of chemistry

(was established in 2017)

The Department of Food Chemistry was established in 2017 on the basis of the Departments of General and Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Physical and Colloid Chemistry and the Department of Biochemistry. The teaching staff of the Department of Food Chemistry consists of 4 doctors of science, 12 candidates of science (PhD), including 6 professors, 10 associate professors and 3 senior lecturers.

The Department of Food Chemistry conducts the educational process, methodical and scientific research work for students of educational levels "Bachelor" and "Master" of specialties: 181 "Food Technologies", 161 "Chemical technology and engineering", 162 "Biotechnology and Bioengineering", 101 "Ecology", 151 "Automation and Computer-Integrated Technologies", 131 "Applied Mechanics", 133 "Sector Engineering", 141 "Power, Electrical Engineering and Electromechanics", 142 "Power Engineering", 144 "Heat power engineering", 186 " Publishing and Polygraphy" (of full-time and distance learning), as well as for advanced students (post-graduates) of the educational-scientific level (PhD) of specialties 102 "Chemistry" and 181 "Food technologies".

The educational-scientific work of the department is aimed at fulfilling the main task - the preparing of bachelors and masters of the aforementioned specialties, as well as Doctors of Philosophy of specialty 102 "Chemistry".

In order to improve professional skills, the department specialists constantly study and introduce advanced pedagogical experience, new teaching forms, methods and technologies. To further improve the educational process and ensure the practical focus of all types of educational work, the lecturers of the Department of Food Chemistry are working to improve various types of training sessions and ways to increase their effectiveness.

Specialists of the Department of Food Chemistry carry out fundamental and applied researches in the field of food chemistry, take an active part in foreign, international and all-Ukrainian scientific conferences.

The Department of Food Chemistry is a team of like-minded people who respect, preserve and continue the traditions and high scientific principles of scientists that devoted their lives to the formation and development of chemistry at National University of Food Technologies.

1930 year

The Department of Chemistry was created for teaching physical, colloid, analytical, general and inorganic chemistry, The first head of the department was Doctor of Chemical Sciences, Professor A. Arkhipovich. Then professor Oskerko A. F. found the Department of Organic Chemistry.

1950 year

The Department of Organic Chemistry was reorganized. As a result, the united Department of Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry and Microbiology was created. To head the Department, prof. Protsenko D. P. was elected. The Department had functioned until 1963.

1954 year

The Department of General and Inorganic Chemistry was separated to become an independent structural subdivision headed by Sheka I. A, Doctor of Chemical Sciences, Professor, Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR.

1965 year

As independent administrative units of Kiev Technological Institute of Food Industry, the Department of Analytical Chemistry under the guidance of prof. Orlovsky S.T. and the Department of Physical and Colloid Chemistry headed by Doctor of Chemical Sciences, Professor, Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR Kurilenko A.D. were organized.

2017 year
