Applications of the Curio HS headspace extraction platform include identifying off-flavors in beverages and dairy products, assessing compounds associated with ripeness, and detecting residual solvents in food packaging materials. The platform is currently available through an early access program.
Unlike allergen control programs, GMO control relies primarily on supplier verification and traceability rather than routine analytical testing. Survey findings reveal how food processors approach GMO control, while evolving traceability requirements could reshape testing practices and market demand in the coming years.
The project will evaluate the resulting assay's potential applications in relevant food matrices, including chicken, turkey, pork, and beef, with the broader objective of improving the identification of Salmonella strains associated with human illness and outbreaks.
Whole genome sequencing is a mature, reliable technology with significant potential for the food industry, but realizing its benefits requires organizations to strategically weigh risks, applications, and persistent legal and regulatory barriers to adoption.
After further optimization and validation, the approach could possibly offer an alternative to conventional culture-based screening methods that typically require three to five days. The bacteriophage amplification strategy, which was tested against Salmonella on chicken meat, could be adapted to detect other viable foodborne bacteria.
Designed to address fragmented measurement, data, and compliance workflows across product development and manufacturing operations, AQUALAB 5TE combines water activity and moisture content measurement in a single 60-second test.
Hyperspectral imaging captures information across a range of wavelengths, enabling the assessment of product characteristics that may not be visible through conventional imaging.
The SX10 is a visible and near-infrared (VNIR) hyperspectral camera designed for research and industrial imaging applications, including food research.
MicroTally’s MicroCap sampler grabs microorganisms from product surfaces as finished product passes through the weigh station. The device can operate unattended for up to two hours.
Developed in partnership with USDA-FSIS, the assay detects Salmonella spp. while targeting up to three proprietary genetic markers associated with pathogenicity, supporting surveillance and research into risk-based approaches to Salmonella control.
