19	Objective of the Course:	The aim of the course is to provide understanding of the principles about plant metabolites and their metabolism within the scope of plant chemistry. Students will be understand about the phytochemicals, have knowledge about the extraction and enrichment of plant metabolites from the matrix with the assessment of the determination techniques. Also course will be helpful to discuss current approaches in plant metabolomics area by using the current literature.
