MALDI-Based Solutions for Food Quality Control
Food quality control is a key step in the manufacturing process of a successful product. It aims at ensuring that the public consume safe food products free from risks associated with contamination or exposure to allergens. It also helps combat fraudulent activities which can undermine the authenticity and economic value of a food product. For all these reasons, developing fast and robust analytical methods for food quality control is important. MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry is a well-established and widely used technique in various fields. Compared to other analytical techniques, it is particularly appreciated for its speed of analysis, simplicity and robustness. In this webinar, we will present some examples of MALDI-based applications for food quality control aiming at tackling issues of food adulteration and safety, using a small benchtop MALDI-TOF instrument from Shimadzu.
