Food Authenticity Identification
The global food industry faces fraud such as incorrect labeling, adulteration, and ingredient substitution. CD BioSustainable's food authenticity verification uses molecular, chemical, and isotope analysis to verify ingredients, origin, and quality, ensuring supply chain integrity. We test finished foods for labeling inaccuracies, adulterants, and false origin claims.

Technical Principles
The methodology integrates three distinct techniques as core to the analysis:
- DNA Based Identification: Next generation sequencing (NGS) and DNA barcoding are used in analyzing the substitution or contamination of specific proteins by targeting genus and species specific DNA markers.
- Spectroscopic Profiling: The molecular fingerprints which are characteristic of particular substances and enable the quick detection of certain adulterants, such as artificial colors or other unwanted additives, are defined with the use of Infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy.
- Isotopic analysis: measurement of the ratio of stable isotopes, known as SIRA, of elements such as C, N, and O traces specific geographies by correlating isotopic signatures with the region's environment.
Technology Characteristics
- High specificity: The presence of multiple layers of validation minimizes false positives and negatives.
- Multi-technology integration: Cross verification increases building blocks for complex matrices.
- Speed: Automation allows workflows to be started and results delivered in less than 3 days, normally.
- Scalability: Usable protocols for bulk and targeted testing increases adaptability.
Our Services
We offer a comprehensive suite of food authenticity identification services, including:
- Ingredient Authentication: Validation of raw material composition.
- Adulterant Screening: Detection of undeclared additives or diluents.
- Geographic Origin Certification: Verification of regional claims (e.g., Protected Designation of Origin).
Company Service Advantages
- Cross-Disciplinary Expertise: Cooperative efforts of biologists, chemists and computer scientists targeted sred multifaceted problems.
- Tailored procedures for specialized products, for example, soy burgers, constitute custom products sits
