Kimchi is a traditional fermented Korean side dish made of fermented Chinese cabbage with a variety of seasonings. It is a very popular food product in Korea. Due to its rather expensive price, frauds on the product origin are frequent. Suppliers do not hesitate to label “Made in Korea” products they sourced from other countries such as China for example. “The Electronic Nose is a fast and reliable tool for detecting fraud on food products origin” Conventional methods for product authentication are time-consuming, that’s why NAQS has implemented a testing method based on HERACLES Electronic Nose, which allows a fast and accurate identification of Kimchi origin. The recognition model set up with this instrument can successfully predict the origin of the tested samples with 99% accuracy and thus reliably recognise counterfeited products. © Alpha MOS 2021 - All rights reserved - Website created by Couleur Citron Legal notice Privacy Policy Terms and Conditions of Sales Career Cookies management Contact us about your application PLEASE ENTER YOUR NAME (required) COMPANY (required) PLEASE ENTER YOUR E-MAIL (required) COUNTRY (required) YOUR APPLICATION DETAILS If you continue to browse this website, you are allowing all third-party services ✓ OK, accept all Personalize
