Food Analysis Application Note Compendium
Food Analysis Application Note Compendium – Kathy Ridgway, Senior Applications Chemist
I have spent most of my career working on the analysis of food. One of the areas that is most challenging is knowing which sample preparation technique to apply. This is due to the variety and complexity of matrices and the low levels of detection required for some analytes of interest.
Since I started at Anatune over 8 years ago, we have worked on some rapid well-established techniques, such as static headspace or solid phase microextraction (SPME), and some more complex novel sample preparation approaches, such as dynamic headspace (DHS) and the Multivolatile method (MVM). In this time, we have also successfully automated some of the more routine manual procedures, such as liquid-liquid extraction.
The ability to measure volatile compounds in real time has also opened up a new area of research in the food industry, looking at process monitoring and flavour release in more detail than was previously possible.
The Application Notes below give further details of some of the work we have done in the area of food analysis. Click on their links to find out more and download whichever one may help you in your research.
