Food Analysis Laboratory

Get to know our Infinitia food analysis laboratory. Using the most cutting-edge techniques, our team responds to the different industries or companies with a direct relationship with the agri-food sector.

Microbiologists, biotechnologists, engineers, CTA graduates… diverse professionals who work together to offer the best service to our clients. And in perfectly equipped facilities. We carry out everything from basic or product tests to customised trials with the creation of new lines or product processing. Discover what we can do for you.

What is a food laboratory analysis?

We are part of your quality and R&D department. At Infinitia we carry out different types of food analysis in our laboratory to confirm that the food is in optimal condition for consumption, to guarantee the health of the people who eat it and also to know its nutritional contribution.

We analyse both raw materials and products per se that are subsequently marketed as food products. Without forgetting ingredients (additives) or the interaction that materials have with the food itself.

Why is food analysis important?

There are several reasons for carrying out different analyses of foods. Below are the most obvious reasons:

Food safety: Food contamination is no joke. If a food contains pathogens, it can become a real health risk, even a life-threatening one. Ensuring food safety is therefore essential for any industry related to the sector.
Quality control: Know the nutritional information of the food, so that it provides nutritional value and, in addition, the raw materials that comprise it are of quality.
Personalization: When we talk about “personalizing a food”, we are referring to responding to what the consumer really needs and seeks. To do this, it is necessary to segment the population and be able to satisfy all dietary needs. Synthetic “meats” of plant origin, gluten-free or lactose-free alternatives to compensate for these intolerances… are some of the innovative products with which we can help you and give you support from our laboratory.

Infinitia is one of those food analysis companies that works with absolute rigor, dedication and always under the current standards and regulations. If you want to know more about how we approach food analysis in our laboratory, find out more through our form.

Types of food analysis

In our food analysis laboratory, we carry out different techniques for food research and treatment. These are the main types of food analysis that we carry out at Infinitia:

Bromatological analysis of foods

Also known as chemical analysis or nutritional analysis. Bromatological analysis of foods allows us to study their properties and nutritional values, as well as the possible risks or harmful compounds to which they are exposed during their treatment (processing, conservation, labeling, etc.).

In our food nutritional analysis laboratory, we determine the best conditions for human consumption, as well as for their handling.

Microbiological analysis of food

Infinitia is also your laboratory for microbiological analysis of food. We are responsible for guaranteeing the quality of food through this fundamental procedure in terms of food safety. This type of analysis is used to detect microorganisms, specifically pathogens, such as salmonella or listeria. It is also key in the food industry when carrying out shelf life studies or establishing and verifying expiration dates; in addition to measuring processes such as fermentation. It should be noted that this is a food analysis that we carry out in our laboratory with important safety measures.

Physical tests

Thanks to this type of physical characterization tests, we are responsible for verifying that the food is in perfect condition.

We analyze the texture, density, viscosity, rheology and even study its color. Again, with the aim of guaranteeing its quality, nutritional value and safety.

Analysis with fungi and bacteria

For microbiological quality control, analysis with fungi and bacteria becomes an ally. That is why we carry it out in these Infinitia food analysis laboratory services.

We measure the levels of contamination by fungi or bacteria, based on a total count of the microorganisms. This helps to determine the shelf life of the food and, of course, to distinguish toxicity.

Sensory analysis

In addition to the nutritional control of food composition that we can carry out in our laboratory, at Infinitia we also carry out sensory analysis. We have groups of panelists where we show the product directly to the end consumer.

Together, we analyse the different characteristics of the food: its appearance, its properties in the mouth, its smell, etc. Without a doubt, this is a very useful type of food analysis, especially for companies in the sector with a wide range of products.
