Food Science

Food science combines physical, chemical, and biochemical sciences to study the nature of foods. The processing conditions that convert biological raw materials into food can lead to structural and textural changes that affect the properties and materials of the food. In order to understand the structure of food products, we offer electronmicroscopy (EM) analysis services. These techniques provide a reliable method for the microstructural, property, andfunctional analysis of food products. Creative Biostructure is dedicated to providing specialist analytical services for food research. Our services include a wide range of different activities, ranging from microstructure analysis of food, chemical composition determination of food to detection of defects in foods.

Food Science Research at the iEM Platform

Foods usually have complex, non-homogeneous, multiphase microstructures at multiple length scales. The contributions of the different structural parts at different length scales are summarized and their food properties, including texture, mouthfeel, storage stability, degradability, and taste release, are given. Most foods are of biological origin, and processing techniques have changed their appearance to make them almost unrecognizable. To investigatethe relationship between the properties, functions, and microstructure of foods, we offer a range of advancedmicroscopy techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which can determine the structure of foods at different length scales. Our scientists have in-depth knowledge andexperience in experimental design, EM sample preparation, data processing, modeling and statistical evaluation. We are committed to offering professional analytical services for atomic to micro-scale characterization of materials, ranging from food composition and formulations to food packaging.
