About this webinar
The constant race between food fraud and food testing drives technological and methodological developments in the sector. Meeting the speed, versatility and quality requirements from the industry has made stable isotope analytics as a commercial service a reality.
In this webinar, Dr. David Psomiadis, Laboratory Manager at Imprint Analytics GmbH, discusses the use of stable isotope analysis to determine the geographic origin of food and the authenticity of food ingredients.
This educational webinar gives an overview of the principles of isotope analysis, including, how it works and what influences results, supported by an explanation and interpretation of data from a variety of food and beverage matrices.
Keynote speaker
Dr. David Psomiadis
Laboratory Manager
Imprint Analytics GmbH
Dr. David Psomiadis holds a PhD in geology using stable isotopes to interpret changes of the past, as well as in applied science in the areas of food and environment. Since 2013, he has been Laboratory Head at Imprint Analytics.

In recent years adulteration has become an increasing problem globally in the food industry and for consumers. Determining if the product has been adulterated is important for many reasons. Is the product pure; does it contain any contaminants; has it been adulterated in any way for economic reasons?
Thermo Fisher Scientific has advanced instrumentation that can help in the area of food adulteration to determine the known and unknown contaminants of the food and beverage product. Their state of the art products help labs check for the adulteration of edible oils to fruit juices and many other products. Their instruments help government agencies and contract laboratories determine if a particular product has been adulterated.

” Not being a philosopher or a physicist, I’m not likely to look into that subject in print, but I let you know that, coming from a marketing standpoint, the net marketing effect to the business stated earlier was obviously a big fat zero.

Hi, can I obtain the presentation / slides / proceedings of the talk, please? (IT restrictions do notallow me to watch the talk.) Thank you.
Hi Jerry
Thank you for getting in touch. We have replied to you directly via email.
Do you have any information for me on laboratories who can test for all those parameters on food fraud. We would like to have partnership with other labs.
thank you!
I would like to meet more companies in this field, as well. My company O2 Isotope and Analytical also performs CSIA testing, fingerprinting foods and soils. Will we ever get to a point where the data we all generate are shared?
Hi Anne-Marie,
Not sure where you’re located, but a soon-to-be-published volume on Food Forensics (Stable Isotopes as a Guide to Authenticity and Origin) may be helpful in identifying various individuals and groups working globally in the field of food isotope analysis.

(Yes, I was a co-editor on the volume. Yes, I authored/co-authored some chapters.)
You might also try reviewing a summary of the TRACE (Tracing Food Commodities in Europe) project, which ran from 2005 to 2009. There were several isotope analysis facilities involved, which are listed, with contact names, in the link –

Hope this is helpful!
