Analytical Equipment at ISU Center for Crops Utilization Research

We have a variety of analytical equipment for monitoring fermentation substrates and metabolites (sugars, glycerol, organic acids, alcohols, offgas composition), proximate compositions (ash, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates) and particle size distribution of food products. These analyses provide an instant QC of fermentation and food processing.
