Food and Agricultural Analysis

"Food production has been industrialized and its trade and distribution have been globalized. ...

... These changes introduce multiple new opportunities for food to become contaminated with harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, or chemicals. A local food safety problem can rapidly become an international emergency. Investigation of an outbreak of food-borne disease is vastly more complicated when a single plate or package of food contains ingredients from multiple countries.” (WHO Director General Dr Margaret Chan, 2015)

Globalization puts ever-increasing demands on the food and agriculture industry. Highly sensitive analytical instrumentation is key for reliable monitoring of food products along the food chain starting from agricultural production over food processing and packaging to distribution and consumption. Analytik Jena analytical solutions help you meet industry standards during both development of new products or quality control assessment.

Authenticity testing of food samples has become one of the hot topics in QC labs, and sample numbers are steadily increasing, because false labelling of ingredients and/or origin is of concern for public health, taxation and religious conduct.

The quality of soils and fertilizers used to grow and support the variety of agricultural products we consume today, play a significant role in the quality of the food products we find on supermarket shelves.
