Vitamins are organic molecules important for human growth and health. Specifically, the human body requires 13 vitamins to stay healthy, each with a different biochemical function. Vitamins are divided into two groups, based on the way they break down once ingested. Water-soluble vitamins are not easily stored as they break down quickly upon ingestion. Fat-soluble […]
The presence of mycotoxins in food and feed poses a significant health risk, necessitating the need for accurate and reliable testing methods. Laboratories have several options for analysing multi-mycotoxins, each with its own advantages and limitations. The choice of method typically depends on factors such as sensitivity, selectivity, and cost. This article explores the move […]
As Europe continues to be a global leader in wheat production, ensuring the safety and quality of this staple crop is paramount.
