How can Danish Technological Institute help you?

• Fat content and quality (total fat, composition of fatty acids, iodine value, free fatty acids)
• Oxidative status (peroxide value, TBARS, free thiols and volatile decomposition compounds)

• Texture and colour properties (Texture measurement - compression, fracture and pull strength, texture profile analysis, Colour measurement – VideometerLab, Minolta)
• Preservatives – documentation of content (nitrite/nitrate, lactate and acetate, salt (NaCl), Na⁺/ K⁺)
• Detection and documentation of pathogenic bacteria in relation to regulatory requirements (i.e. Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes and Yersinia enterocolitica)
• Determination of aerobic, anaerobic and microaerophilic bacteria, yeast and mould
• Identification of lactic acid bacteria and Clostridium botulinum (DGGE and Real Time PCR)
• Detection of norovirus (Real Time PCR)
