Whitepapers & Application Notes
Backscatter Analysis in Cheese Production
Scientists and food researchers have created a device that allows users to monitor the intricacies of cheese production. Using data collected while measuring backscattering of cheese using an Ocean Optics spectrometer and light source, the researchers have developed algorithms to predict the optimal cutting time, fermentation endpoint, whey fat losses,…
In-line process control – the key to more efficiency
ZEISS was one of the first companies to develop spectrometers for operation in the farming industry, for example on harvesting machines. The spectrometer systems are used under really harsh conditions and are able to deliver precise results despite fluctuating temperatures, vibrations and shocks. To ensure a consistent process flow, the…
Multi-residue analysis of highly polar pesticides in food safety by LC-MS/MS
Food safety laboratories involved in pesticide residue monitoring typically employ a multi-residue LC-MS/MS method for the quantification of an ever increasing list of target pesticides. In this study we present two methods developed for the analysis of a wide range of polar pesticides using the Shimadzu LCMS-8050...
Understanding, monitoring and meeting the differing global maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides
The purpose of this free white paper is to provide an overview on current thinking within the food industry for how best to manage pesticide residue risk in food products and supply chains.
The ‘new’ phenomenon of criminal fraud in the food supply chain
This free-to-view whitepaper looks at the rapid rise of food fraud and the collective responses to the global threat...
NIR spectroscopy and wine – Class-modeling for the characterisation of Italian red wine
Near-infrared spectroscopy, combined with multivariate data analysis, was applied in order to distinguish wine samples according to the grape variety.
Pressurised solvent extraction – decreasing the extraction time of different samples
Pressurised Solvent Extraction (PSE) of mineral oil hydrocarbons in cardboard and bisphenol A in canned food...
Automation of AOAC 970.16 bitterness of malt beverages and AOAC 976.08 color of beer
Through unique software control of common laboratory instruments with real-time decision making and analysis.
Screening for veterinary drug residues using biochip array technology
Randox Food Diagnostics develop and manufacture a range of cost effective screening solutions for drug residue diagnostics offering excellent tools for screening of antimicrobials, growth promoting hormones and drugs of abuse in animals and foodstuff.
Understanding the US Food Safety Modernization Act 2011
If your company exports food to the US or you are an importer of food to the US this document contains important information for your business.
RF Biocidics – Solution overview
From salmonella outbreaks to E.coli contamination, when something goes wrong within the food industry, the problem often becomes headline news.
Automated derivatization, SPE cleanup and LC-MS/MS determination of glyphosate and other polar pesticides
Glyphosate and glufosinate are widely used herbicides and, thus, there is an interest in the reliable and sensitive determination of glyphosate in water and food.
Yield stress of jam, chocolate spread and peanut butter measured with Thermo Scientific HAAKE Viscotester iQ and vane rotors
A standard task in the Quality Control (QC) of typical food spreads – like jam, chocolate spread or peanut butter – is the determination of the yield stress in a container.
Extraction of acrylamide from fried potato chips (crisps) using ISOLUTE® SLE+ prior to LC-MS/MS analysis
Acrylamide has been found to occur in many cooked carbohydrate rich foods and is of concern as a possible carcinogen.
