NMR Analysis for Food
NMR can detect and quantify key ingredients, contaminants, and adulterants in food products, making it an essential tool for food quality control .
For the food industry and regulators, it is vital to be able to verify the authenticity of foods.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique that is more and more being used in the food industry to ensure the authenticity of food products.
NMR spectroscopy has also been used to tackle honey fraud.
The benefit of using NMR for food authenticity is that it identifies all the components present in the honey, rather than just trying to identify whether an unnatural additive is present.
