iDendron Startup: IsoFoodTrace and Creato
IsoFoodTrace uses stable isotope analysis to address the problem of food fraud by verifying food labels, tracking food origin, and adding value to products. Stable isotope analysis measures the natural weight variations that exist in atoms of all biological materials, and act as identifying fingerprints. We aim to broaden the application of stable isotope analysis into the food testing and construct an authentic food market to consumers when they can buy food with confidence.
