New Information about CIP’s Quality and Nutrition Laboratory


CIP’s Quality and Nutrition Laboratory (QNL) is devoted to evaluating and improving the nutritional quality of potato, sweetpotato, and other staple crops.  QNL analyzes micronutrients and antioxidant concentrations in these foods using leading-edge technologies such as spectrophotometry, HPLC, ICP, and NIRS. Its goal is to be a worldwide reference laboratory on nutrient analysis of staple food crops with a view of improving human health and reducing poverty and hunger.
