  • HPIC Dionex ICS 3000 (high-performance ion chromatography) for sugar, organic acid and polyol assays
  • HPLC Waters Alliance (high-performance liquid chromatography) for amino acid and polyphenol assays
  • Flame atomic absorption spectrometer (PinAAcle 500 – Perkin Elmer) for ion (calcium, phosphorus, potassium) assays
  • Karl-Fisher titrator for sugar crystal moisture assays
  • Fume hood for handling chemical reagents
  • Rotary evaporators
  • Soxhlet extractors
  • Compound separation chromatography columns (Omnifit Solvent Plus – Gilson) (100 mL – 600 mL) fitted with a fraction collector (FC 204 – Gilson)
