Confronting Food and Beverage Failure with Analytical Chemistry

 

 

View Archived Webinar

Carolyn J. Otten, Ph.D. of Chemir presents case studies and strategies to solve challenging food, beverage and packaging problems. Quality issues or product failures can cause manufacturing shut-downs, customer complaints or even legal disputes. Chemir has helped many food and beverage manufacturers confront tough quality issues, such as contamination, off-flavors/colors/odors, toxic substances, migration / leaching and packaging failure. We present case studies illustrating food or beverage quality failures and how the scientists at our contract analytical laboratory found solutions.
