Authenticity Testing of Olive Oil at the Tentamus Center for Food Fraud
Olive oil is becoming more and more popular and enjoys the reputation of being particularly healthy for both young and old. Italy is the first country that comes to mind when it comes to high-quality, natural, authentic olive oil. However, olive oil labels do not always tell the truth. In terms of food adulteration, the sky is the limit. Last year, for example, 150,000 litres of oil were discovered which were labelled as olive oil but did not contain a drop of olive oil. Instead, sunflower and soya oil with the addition of chlorophyll and b-carotene were used. Even simpler is the relabeling of olive oil of inferior quality. An…

Tentamus Center for Food Fraud: Herkunftsbestimmung von Olivenöl
Olivenöl erfreut sich immer größerer Beliebtheit und genießt den Ruf, besonders gesund für Jung und Alt zu sein. Italien kommt vielen als erstes in den Sinn, wenn es um hochwertiges, naturbelassenes und authentisches Olivenöl geht. Tatsächlich ist aber nicht immer das drin, was auf dem Etikett steht. Im Bereich der Lebensmittelverfälschungen sind der Fantasie keine Grenzen gesetzt. So wurden im letzten Jahr 150.000 Liter Öl entdeckt, welches als Olivenöl etikettiert, in dem aber kein Tropfen Olivenöl enthalten war. Stattdessen wurden Sonnenblumen- und Sojaöl unter Zusatz von Chlorophyll und b-Karotin eingesetzt. Noch simpler ist das Umetikettieren von Olivenöl minderer Qualität. Dabei wird ein Olivenöl einer günstigen Herkunft oder minderer Qualität verwendet…

The industry requires rapid change and as more trials take place and new therapies are trialled the supply chain will be forced to be flexible and react…

Dicamba volatility tests via Humidome set-up at Symbiotic Research
SYMBIOTIC RESEARCH, LLC(SRL), announces the expansion of its agrochemical research services into conducting humidome studies with Dicamba formulations.
