Detecting volatile food contaminants

This week Reactions is smelling the science of bacon. Chemistry and the Maillard reaction makes the sizzle of your bacon smell amazing.

Dr Martina Marchetti-Deschmann from TU Wien, explains molecular mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), its applications, and some of the challenges associated with the progression of the technology.

The Mastersizer 3000 is the latest generation of the world’s most popular particle sizing instrument.
The particle size analyzer delivers rapid, accurate particle size distributions for both wet and dry dispersions with the minimum of effort. Measuring over the nanometer to millimeter particle size ranges, it packs exceptional performance into the smallest of footprints, bringing operator-independent measurements that every user can rely on.
