Aim
The aim of this project is to create a set of protocols to use readily available reagents to extract and test for different micronutrients in foods. The focus is on positive aspects of food - testing for the things that are good for us, rather than testing for contaminants... there's enough fear!
This project is part of the umbrella project Vital.
