The school also has a National Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center (NETDC) for undergraduates teaching in Food Science and Engineering. The laboratories of NETDC have instruments with the total value of more than ¥63 million (equivalent to $10 million USD). The NETDC laboratories including Food Chemistry/analysis Lab, Food safety and microbiology Lab, Food biochemistry Lab, Food Processing Lab, with a total area of about 1400 m2.
1.Food chemistry/analysis lab
Food Chemistry/Analysis Lab locates at Food Science Building Room 13309-13311(215 m2), which contain a variety of food analysis equipment such as HPLC, GC, GC/MS, LC/MS for teaching food analysis courses. The laboratory is constantly upgraded to meet international standards.
