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,…
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…
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...

One of the constant headaches of the food industry is the issue of contamination. This may be as the result of contaminants in the environment or deliberate tampering of food products; the underhand practice of food adulteration is a threat wherever costs can be cut. To identify such deliberate contamination…
Near-infrared spectroscopy, combined with multivariate data analysis, was applied in order to distinguish wine samples according to the grape variety.
