Food testing plays a vital role in the ensuring of safety and quality concerning the food we eat, as well as offers many benefits regarding the protection of public health.
As the world faces issues such as emerging diseases and population growth, food testing is poised for continued market expansion. Components of the process, and the benefits they provide, include:
• Minimization of contamination. The testing of food assists in the identification and reduction the risk of contamination via harmful bacteria, thus preventing illnesses. The report states that there are over 250 foodborne illnesses (illnesses contracted from eating contaminated food or beverages [2]) recognized, and the majority are brought about by bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Symptoms of foodborne illness range from mild gastroenteritis to life-threatening neurologic, hepatic, and renal syndromes (2).
• Verification of labelling. Testing guarantees the accuracy of food label accuracy, which ensures that purchasers are buying products which match the nutritional and allergen information stated.
• Quality reliability. Frequent testing ensures the taste, appearance, and ingredient consistency of food products.
• Management of allergens: Food testing empowers manufacturers to effectively control allergens within their products, protecting consumers with allergies.
The growth of the chromatography market stems from a variety of factors, including:
• The amount of health-conscious consumers, particularly in emerging markets, has been growing, which drives the demand for more stringent food safety measures regarding food safety.
• Consumers are increasingly relying on food safety labels to help them make informed purchasing decisions, which highlights the need of accurate testing.
• The use of chromatography, and the resulting identification of pesticides, additives, and harmful pathogens, allows for a more thorough assessment of the quality of food tested.
• The recent rise of pandemics (such as Covid-19) has stressed the importance of food safety, which has led to increased adoption of food testing in general, and chromatographic methods in particular.
Prominent players in the chromatography food testing market, per the report, include Shimadzu, Spectro Analytical Instruments, Symbio Laboratories, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., TÜV SÜD, Waters Corporation, ADPEN Laboratories, Inc.,, ALS, ALS Limited, AsureQuality Ltd., Bio-Rad Laboratories, Bureau Veritas, BVAQ, Cotecna, Element Materials Technology, Eurofins Scientific, Food Safety Net Services, ifp Institut für Produktqualität GmbH, Intertek Group PLC, Merck KGaA, Mérieux NutriSciences, Microbac Laboratories, Inc., Neogen Corporation, NSF, Pacific Health Labs, QIMA, R J Hill Laboratories Limited, and SGS SA.
The report opines that the Asia-Pacific market offers lucrative opportunities for major players in the chromatography market, due to its developing healthcare infrastructure, rising disposable incomes, and established domestic corporate presence, and speculates that the market will also grow at the fastest rate throughout the projected period. The biomedical investments made in the Asia-Pacific region are a significant factor in the growth of the global chromatography market, thus leading the authors to say that the market for that area will be strengthened by growing government support and affiliated organizations. Furthermore, Europe is predicted to rule the global market for chromatographic food testing because of the region’s increasing food production and the strict regulations for food quality those countries have imposed.

Characterization and Assessment of Effects of Drying Temperature on Edible Mushrooms with HS-GC–MS
September 6th 2024To gain insight into the effect of drying temperature on its composition, headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC–MS) was used for the identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of 86 mushroom samples that were divided into five groups and dried at different temperatures.
Modern HPLC Strategies: Improving Retention and Peak Shape for Basic Analytes
August 16th 2024In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it is common for bases and unreacted ionized silanols on silica-based columns to cause irreproducible retention, broad peaks, and peak tailing when working with basic analytes. David S. Bell, Lead Consultant at ASKkPrime LLC offers innovative HPLC strategies that can help mitigate such issues.
