Webinar on Rapid On-site Solutions for Mycotoxin Testing in Foods
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by certain filamentous fungi (molds). They can enter our food chain either directly from food components contaminated with mycotoxins or by indirect contamination from the growth of toxigenic fungi on food. Consumption of mycotoxin-contaminated food or feed can cause acute or chronic toxicity in human and animals. Thus

Webinar on Regulatory analysis of Mycotoxins in Food (Nuts & cereals)
Mycotoxins are metabolites of fungi having potential carcinogenic, mutagenic and other toxic effects in human and animals. Mycotoxin contamination frequently causes trade issues. Regulations have been established in many countries to protect the consumer from the harmful effects of mycotoxins. So, their detection at trace level or below regulatory limit is important. To comply

Webinar on Measurement Uncertainty in Food Microbiological Testing
Microbiological testing is carried out for food and feed samples, to determine the quality and safety of the product. In microbiological analysis the result is obtained by counting individual live organisms which are rarely distributed randomly in a food matrix. It is due to these reasons that, there is an uncontrollable ‘variation without a

Webinar on Foreign Material in Food & Beverage (Investigation & Testing)
The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system classifies risks to consumers into three categories—biological, chemical, and physical—and it emphasizes preventing, reducing, or eliminating high-risk biological hazards. Food safety professionals, as a result of years of education, experience, and audits to the HACCP system, often relegate physical hazards to lower risk status, primarily controlled
DetailsWebinar on Global Regulatory Landscape for Microbiological Testing in Food
There is growing focus of regulatory agencies across globe to tackle issues related to food safety. Microbiological food safety being an integral part of this wheel, it becomes of prime importance to understand and learn microbiological parameters and controls placed by regulatory agencies in US, EU & key countries in APAC. These learnings will

Webinar on Rapid Pathogen Testing
The ability to rapidly detect viable pathogens in food is important for public health and food safety reasons. Culture-based detection methods tend to be laborious, time consuming and slow to provide results. Several culture-independent methods to detect viable pathogens have been reported in recent years, including both ELISA and PCR. Some of these newer methods,

Webinar on Rapid ATP bioluminescence assay for sanitation monitoring
The adenosine triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence rapid determination method is useful for detecting the microbial contamination and it has been widely used in food and beverages industry for sanitation with good precision. ATP can be found in organic material and residues. The amount of ATP that remains on a surface after we have cleaned is a
