Cargill provides the sophisticated chemical analysis needed for critical insight into the chemical structure and composition of products. 

Our depth of expertise in analytical chemistry can help you answer a broad range of questions, such as: 

• Composition promise and regulatory compliance. Do your products meet their composition promise — and are they in regulatory compliance?  Do they meet the health claims associated with certain ingredients?
• Process controls. Are your process controls optimal for delivering your targeted product?
• Safety. How can you ensure that your product is safe? Does it contain substances that could contribute to adulteration or food safety issues?
• Composition and competition. What changes in composition would provide the solution that could jettison your product beyond the competition?    

Our analytical capabilities include:

• Complex lipid, protein and carbohydrate characterization
• Gas and liquid separations
• Vibrational and electronic spectroscopies
• Small molecule characterization via mass spectrometry
• Optical and electron microscopies
• Supercritical and liquid solvent extractions
• Chemometrics (advanced mathematical modeling)
