Abstract
The University of East Anglia (UEA) and its partner organisations on the Norwich Research Park have a long history of food authenticity research, funded over the years by government, research councils and international organisations. Underpinning the newly recognised Centre of Expertise are UEA’s Science Analytical Facilities: a dedicated unit of platform technologies, each with an academic lead and experienced technicians, and a remit of service provision to the scientific and business communities. In the context of authentication, we have relevant expertise in small molecule analysis by high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and liquid and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (LC- and GC-MS); in inorganic MS for stable isotope and trace element analysis (SITE, IRMS); and in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) including tandem energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (-EDS).
