- the concept of "commodity science", history, directions of development and current state.
- definition of objects of commodity science.
- commodity categories: goods, products, finished products, subject of consumption, consumer value, quality. The concept of these categories, their hierarchy (generic, subcontracting)
- factors influencing the formation of consumer needs (traditions, customs, rituals, fashion, national, regional and corporate characteristics, etc.).
- requirements for goods, depending on their chemical composition, structure, purpose.

- fundamental physico-chemical laws, which are the basis of specific methods of analysis of substances;
- basics of physicochemical methods of analysis;
- conditions and metrological bases of physicochemical determinations, areas of application of various methods of analysis of substances.
- the concept of life cycle, quality and range of goods.
- definition of goods classification and coding of goods, assortment policy and product information

Based on the acquired knowledge the student must be able to:
- to apply the categorical apparatus on the basics of commodity science in practice
- use the methodological basis for assessing the quality of goods and determine their competitiveness
- apply research methods of goods
- it is reasonable to choose the appropriate method of analysis to solve a specific problem;
- accurately reproduce the method of physico-chemical methods of analysis in future work on the specialty.
- evaluate the accuracy of the obtained results.
- apply the acquired knowledge to prevent commodity losses in the circulation of goods
- to carry out the analysis of the accompanying documentation concerning conformity of data on the goods
