Our main physical infrastructure consists of a food preparation lab, a food analytical lab, and a sensory laboratory. We offer specialized expertise in the following methodologies:
Sensory Lab
- Trained sensory panel
- Rapid sensory methods
- Consumer panel
- Dedicated software for surveys and sensory studies
Food Preparation Lab
- Food grade facilities
- Gastronomic explorative playground and culinary equipment
Food Analytical Lab
- Advanced microscopy techniques e.g., fluorescence confocal and super-resolution (STED, SIM, and more), multi-photon label-free (second harmonic generation (SHG), coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS), SRS), video microscopy (spinning disc, SIM). Full imaging infrastructure available via www.dambic.dk.
- Mechanical texture analysis
- Rheology (incl. rheo-microscopy, LAOS)
- Food composition analysis: moisture content, elemental analysis.
Cross-cutting expertise in:
- Image segmentation, analysis, and quantification
- Multivariate data analysis and machine/deep learning
- Spectroscopy and chromatography for food analysis: FT-IR, UV-VIS, GC-MS, HPLC
