Research and testing services
- Microbiology testing of different row materials, packaging materials, finished products and environmental samples, evaluate the overall quality and safety of the commercial food products;
- Shelf life establishment of food products from microbiological point of view;
- Sanitary evaluation tests for the food industry units, technological flow, equipments, packaging materials and personnel;
- Tackle the development and assessment of chemical-free preservation for food products;
- Asses the use of natural, indigenous antimicrobial compounds to control food spoilage and increase products preservation;
- Develop quantitative and qualitative models for the various phenomena such as growth, inactivation and contamination of microorganisms and also mycotoxins content from cereals and food products;
- Detection and quantification of food gliadin can help food industry producers to identify/notify new products;
- Testing the antimicrobial acitvity of natural antimicrobial agents (essential oils, nanoparticles, etc.);
Evaluation of specific food contaminants (bacteria and molds) using the Biolog Microstation System MicroLog.
