About ALNuMed
Authentic food is worth more!
ALNuMed GmbH develops innovative method couplings for authenticity testing of food (varietal purity & blending, origin, unknown adulteration, freshness, taste, etc.). Fields of application: Honey, olive oil, wine, beer, spirits, fruit juices, tea, coffee, but also meat, fish and much more.
We are a research-oriented service company that was founded in 2010 as a spin-off of the Research Center for Bio-Macromolecules at the University of Bayreuth.
Our focus is on the development of new analytical methods for the food industry and natural product processing industries, which allow the quantitative analysis of dozens of ingredients within a few minutes. The basis for this is nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR): Mixtures are not separated into their individual components - which makes the method very fast. In the same measurement, substances can be quantified from % to the ppm range. In addition, geographical origin, variety determination, processing steps, known but also unknown adulterations in food and natural substances can be quickly recorded. We combine NMR with optical methods (IR) and mass spectrometry for previously unattainable ingredient profiles and product-specific fingerprints.
We already routinely offer NMR-based wine and fruit juice analyses.
Hq-NMR (Eur. Pat. pending): an innovative NMR-based method for comprehensive honey analysis. In addition to general quality assurance by means of ingredient profiles, the main focus of development is on adulteration as observed in international trade.
