Scope of activity
The main directions of the Institute’s scientific and service activities are as follows:
Research:
– Analytical methods development for the assessment of food quality and safety. Development, adaptation and application of modern analytical methods and techniques for the study of chemical and biological pollutants, nutrients and adulterations;
– Identification and quantification of natural constituents and environmental pollutants in raw materials and food products. Nutrient research. Monitoring food pollution. Analysis of the risk of occurrence of contaminants in food;
– Health quality standards development for raw materials and food products;
– testing the authenticity (adulteration) of food and fodder: detection of permitted and prohibited additives in food;
– introduction into the production practice of natural food products with pro-health features, including increased nutritional value and reduced content of undesirable substances.
Services:
– Analyzes and expert opinions on the quality of raw materials and food products for business entities;
– Standardization activity in the scope of amendments to the subject standards of the fruit and vegetable industry and methodological determination of food contaminants (PN, PN-EN, PN-ISO).
Training:
– Training in the of modern analytical techniques field used in the analysis of food pollutants.
The Department conducts research on many chemical and biological pollutants as well as selected basic nutrients of food products and additional substances, which are increasingly introduced into food produced in Poland. The conducted research allows tracking the world’s most important achievements in the area of food analysis. The results of analytical research have been and are being used in the agri-food industry in the development and evaluation of new technologies and the production of high quality food products, also promoting the export of Polish food products and their introduction on the domestic market.
The credibility of the obtained results has been confirmed by the repeatedly positive assessment of participation in national and international proficiency tests and inter-laboratory comparisons. The department also participates in establishing a reference value in plant materials for proficiency tests organized by the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology.
The Food Analysis Department specializes in:
– raw materials and fruit, vegetable and cereal products,
-juices, drinks, fruit and fruit-vegetable nectars
-beer, wine, spirits
-confectionery and bakery products
-coffee, dried fruits, nuts, culinary spices and others
We use modern instrumental techniques, including:
-high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with detectors (UV, FL, DAD, RI, MS)
-gas chromatography (GC) with detectors: FID and MS / MS;
-atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS, FES, ZETAAS, HGAAS, VG-AAS);
-UV-VIS spectrometry
Accreditation
The IBPRS Food Analysis Department performs tests confirmed by the Research Laboratory Certificate of Accreditation AB 452 issued by the PCA.
