Food Characterisation facilities and services

Our laboratory expertise include isolation techniques followed by chemical compositional analyses as well as physical, rheology and texture measurements of food and food ingredients.

using GC, HPLC/UHPLC or LC-MS regard for example fatty acids, sterols, B12-vitamin, folate, phenolic compounds, and volatiles. The laboratories are located at Viikki Campus (Agnes Sjöbergin katu 2) at the Department of Food and Nutrition. 

We offer independent equipment use for subject to charge for academic researchers. Contracted analytical service is also possible for different purposes.

Independent use of equipment:

•    know-how of equipment use is mandatory

•    prices do not include laboratory supplies or chemicals

•    short technical briefing available

•    booking of equipment through contact person (see table below)
