Small and large food producers now have the opportunity to employ new, fast methods to determine which products should make it to market.

The food industry needs reliable decision-support information, which should be based on relevant summaries of information from several academic disciplines. Nofima’s number crunchers develop and use multi-block methods to explore connections in complex datasets and interpret the results.

Knowledge about factors that influence the quality of raw materials is required in order to produce food of stable high quality. Our scientists have expertise in understanding raw material variation, efficient production processes, rapid and precise measurement techniques and statistical process control and optimisation.
