PerkinElmer Teams Up with TeakOrigin on Food Authenticity Detection
PerkinElmer, Inc., has announced a collaboration with TeakOrigin, a company that integrates technology and data platforms to serve as a detector for food authenticity and quality.
PerkinElmer’s cutting-edge molecular spectroscopy instrumentation, combined with TeakOrigin’s team of analytical chemistry experts, will help bring greater transparency to a wide range of food items that consumers purchase and eat. Based on the findings of their research, PerkinElmer and TeakOrigin will aim to develop a first-of-its-kind technology that uses a single platform to analyze a number of food types for key indicators that determine authenticity, quality and freshness. The research will leverage molecular spectroscopy, UV VIS, mid/near-infrared and Raman spectroscopy techniques – which are fast, small, and relatively low cost and non-destructive to the food being tested.
