Technology and Food Science Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
This unit comprises three research areas (Agricultural Engineering, Food Safety and Product Quality and Innovation). Technical, mathematical and IT methods support mechanization and automation in production. We study the safety (microbiological and chemical) and quality of all types of foodstuffs. We develop methods to detect GMOs and allergens and to determine authenticity. We seek new functions and valorization of food products.

Department of Chemical engineering and technical chemistry Ghent University
Industrial Microbiology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research group Industrial Microbiology and Food Biotechnology (formerly Industrial Microbiology, Fermentation Technology and Downstream Processing; IMDO) has been created in October 1994. It originates from the subunit of Biochemical Engineering of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry. The research theme deals with 'Research and Development for a Healthy Diet'. The establishment of IMDO meant the actual start of ...
High Resolution NMR Centre Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Description of the NMR laboratory The High Resolution NMR Centre is basically the NMR lab of the VUB providing all NMR spectra and NMR know how to any researcher of the VUB - or outside the institution - needing NMR for purposes of chemical substance identification and structure determination, either in scientific collaboration, or in service context. This means that, in particular, other research units of the VUB (ORGC, FYSC, FCOL, ULTR, ...
