The characterisation of lipids is one of the major applications of gas chromatography in food analysis. In general, GC can be applied to the analysis of intact lipids, such as triglycerides, or to the analysis of the fatty acid composition based on fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profiling. A broad…
Herbs and spices are things to be enjoyed. They add colour, flavour and aroma to so many of the dishes we like to eat. There are also numerous reports regarding the health benefits of these ingredients: claims that they are anti-diabetese, increase brain function and boost our immune systems to…

Recently many farms were affected by the illegal use of Fipronil in a cleaning agent. Whilst findings of Fipronil were rare or at low levels, it was the findings of its metabolite, Fipronil-sulfon, that were more significant in uncovering the extent of this scandal.
Lukas Vaclavik, Staff Scientist at Covance Food Solutions, discusses exclusively with New Food the importance of a thorough chemical food testing process.
