RIKILT conducts research on behalf of the safety, health and quality of agricultural and horticultural products, both primary agricultural product and foods. An important aspect of RIKILT research concerns statutory tasks in the area of food safety. | Some of the core activities of RIKILT are: | *Assessment of quality and safety of food. | *Safety evaluation of novel food and feed. | A vast array of methods is needed to evaluate the quality and safety of foods. These methods are based on physical, analytical or biomolecular principles. | At RIKILT the chemical, biochemical and microbial quality of foods such as dairy products, fruits, vegetable and meat is ascertained. | Research on Genetic Modified (GM) food crops plays an important role within RIKILT |
