Food testing is an important analytical discipline to characterize the properties of foods and their constituents. Analysts can use different instrument configurations and methods.
The LECO eBook summarizes a large part of LECO’s application work in the field of food testing. In addition to the Application Compendium, the eBook includes an introduction to GCxGC- and TOFMS-technology, followed by an overview of the different hardware and software solutions that were used for the food testing applications. A bibliography with additional references can be found in the appendix.
Highlighted Application Notes in this eBook are:
