The Science of Fresh: Quality Foods and Ingredients The quality of food is judged by its appearance, texture, aroma and taste. However, you can’t readily observe or taste healthy ingredients -like antioxidants and flavonoids - or unhealthy byproducts that can result from processing or storage for too long or under improper conditions. We are dedicated to applying our deep expertise in the development of rigorous testing methods for biomedical and pharmaceutical research to the creation of reliable easy-to-use tests to evaluate the freshness of food products.
