Nachrichten aus der Chemie (the membership magazine of the GDCh) annually publishes trend reports in which authors spot and compile an overview of inspiring work and recent trends in the most important chemical disciplines.

ChemViews gives you an overview of the latest trend report, its authors and the literature collected.

Trends in Food Chemistry 2011

I. Haase, F. Vaagt, M. Fischer

Molecular-biological methods in food analysis: In addition to the established real-time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) strategy, modern DNA-based analytical methods for the analysis of food are receiving increasing interest, in particular for the detection of small sequence differences in which PCR analysis fails.
