Analysis and testing

Analysis of food and drink is a major activity for the industry - and a very important part of product development and quality assurance. Analysis is required for a wide variety of reasons - from testing suitability for purpose, through checking authenticity, to assuring legal compliance. It is important to use the correct analytical tool in order to get meaningful answers to questions.

Apart from the well-known areas such as chemical and microbiological analyses, Campden BRI has extensive expertise in the analysis of the physical properties of foods, the identification of physical contaminants (e.g. glass, insects, stones and metal), determining whether a food is what its label says it is, and the evaluation of how a product tastes and what the consumer thinks of it. We are also involved in developing and evaluating the methods themselves.

We also carry out specialist analyses for wheat and flour.
