NMR profiling for food authenticity

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance generates highly reproducible spectral fingerprints of food and drink products that are compared against reference databases to detect deviations, verify authenticity, and quantify key components. Eurofins Food & Feed Testing laboratories support you in finding your individual NMR solution.

Food NMR profiling applications

We can apply this method to many foods and beverages including, but not limited to:

  • Honey: detect exogenous sugars, confirm declared botanical and/or geographical origin
  • Wine: assess composition, grape variety, geographical origin, and vintage
  • Coffee: distinguish between Arabica and Robusta, and check absence of foreign materials
  • Fruit juice: identify dilution, undeclared additions, or mislabelling
  • Fats and oil: confirm variety and detect adulteration
  • Spices: confirm authenticity and detect adulteration
