Chemical and Microbiological Food Analyses
This international symposium was arranged by AOAC Europe – NMKL – NordVal International and held in Oslo, Norway, on 3-4 June 2019.
The purpose of the symposium was to bring together scientists, technicians and companies to discuss emerging technologies and techniques with emphasis on recent advances and applications in food analyses.
The topics were presented in plenum and in parallel sessions.
