In Nofima we have developed methods to quickly measure EPA and DHA fatty acids in salmon fillets. These fatty acids have a number of positive health effects on humans. The recommendation is that healthy people consume EPA and DHA daily to prevent cardiovascular disease. Norwegian farmed salmon is a good source of the marine fatty…

An unpleasant little white worm is the last thing you want to find on your dinner plate. Novel technology is now in place that allows detection and removal of Nematodes – roundworms – from whitefish fillets before they enter the dinner table. Spectroscopic technology is already used commercially in the fishing industry to assess the…
The Norwegian strawberry season is underway. For the time being, all berries are picked by hand, but robots might be doing the job in just a few years. Nofima scientists are in the process of developing sensors that can measure taste. The scientists are mapping the chemistry of ripe strawberries, getting a sensory panel to…
We are developing a handheld NIR instrument that can be used to measure water content in dried and salted cod. This work is closely linked to similar activities in DigiFoods. An instrument like this can find a number useful applications in the food industry. Watch the video to learn about what the industry requires,…
Digital Food Quality – a centre for research-based innovation has been in operation for just over a year. The centre, also known as DigiFoods for short, is headed by senior scientist Jens Petter Wold of Nofima. Its goal is to develop smart sensors for measuring product quality without having to cut into or touch the…
