Publication Alert ! 🎉 I am happy to share that our research paper, "Enrichment of Peanut Butter Using Curcuma longa (Turmeric) Industrial Byproducts and Its Impact on Shelf Life," has been accepted for publication in Food Chemistry! 🍽️✨. https://lnkd.in/gi_K-ncQ. In this study, we delved into the innovative application of Curcuminoid Removed Turmeric Oleoresin (CRTO)—a byproduct of Curcuma longa—to significantly extend the shelf life of peanut butter. The results were promising: CRTO not only delayed rancidity but also enriched the peanut butter with valuable curcuminoids, presenting a natural and sustainable solution for food preservation. 🌱💚 Additionally, we explored the benefits of using Oxygen Scavenger Film (OSF) packaging, which demonstrated remarkable potential in maintaining product quality over time. A heartfelt thank you to my incredible team and collaborators for their unwavering support in making this research possible. We hope our findings will inspire further innovation in food science and technology! #FoodChemistry #FoodScience #Innovation #PeanutButter #CurcumaLonga #SustainableSolutions

What exactly are non-target methods? (#NTMs) 🔍 NTMs offer a potent analytical approach, focusing on analyzing all constituents of a sample rather than a predefined target. They find application in various domains, from ensuring #foodauthenticity and #foodsafety to #watermonitoring. 🥑 🌊 Eager to delve deeper into NTMs? Read this paper with QuoData contribution , “Essential terminology and considerations for validation of non-targeted methods”, featuring valuable insights into the world of Non-Targeted Methods (NTMs) in #analyticaltesting. In the following picture you can find the stages in the development and validation of NTMs. The link to the publication (#openaccess at Food Chemistry: X) can be found in the comments section. 👇👇   A joint effort by scientists of Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL), European Commission, Max Rubner-Institut (MRI),  Chemisches und Veterinäruntersuchungsamt Karlsruhe(CVUA Karlsruhe) and QuoData! 🤝    #fingerprnting #machinelearning 

🔑 What were the key takeaways from our Experts Meeting?

🏆 We are thrilled to announce that Alpha MOS has been awarded the Second Prize for Technological Invention by the China Dairy Industry Association (CDIA) for our innovative project, "Research and Application of Intelligent Sensory Instruments for Online Detection in the Dairy Industry." Mengniu, a leading global dairy company, is committed to leveraging cutting-edge technology to ensure the highest quality standards across our product range. Two years ago, they introduced the Heracles NEO e-nose, a state-of-the-art sensory technology designed to revolutionize odor detection in raw milk and finished dairy products.🥛🐄 Through rigorous optimization of their database, meticulous data verification, advanced technical analysis, and streamlined process optimization, their teams successfully demonstrated that the Heracles NEO e-nose can efficiently identify odorous substances in milk with unparalleled accuracy and speed. The recognition from the CDIA underscores the significance of Alpha MOS technology in the dairy industry. 🚀Moving forward, we remain committed to innovation and excellence, continuing to push the boundaries of sensory technology to meet the evolving needs of industry. #AlphaMOS #HeraclesNEO #DairyIndustry #SensoryTechnology #Innovation #AwardWinningTechnology
