Lapland’s superiority factors, such as the hygienic and chemical purity of the raw material, high levels of health-active compounds and flavourings, and large countries of the state as organic collection areas, make it possible to do so. In recent years, many natural products, food and cosmetics companies have emerged in Lapland, which process raw materials into products and focus heavily on international markets. However, export of Lappish products abroad requires ensuring the quality management chain of the entire primary production. Lapland’s superfoods have no need for pharmaceutical-like quality assurance, but important export concerns include hygiene, safety and health, e.g. verification of high levels of health effects and bioactive compounds in a batch of raw materials. Obtaining quality information on the side of the raw material and product on site at critical points in the chain, as well as traceability, contributes significantly to profitability, marketing and exports. The purpose of quality management is to ensure, verify and document the quality of the raw material for the entire raw material processing chain and especially for the entrepreneur himself. The customer determines the limits and degree of purity that the raw material and product produced by the company must achieve. This requires a lot of costs for primary production. Uncertainty about the quality of the raw material is caused by weather conditions, different harvest and growing seasons, as well as varying quality of harvesters’ working methods and methods. Moreover, accurate laboratory analyses and the development of quality systems cost a lot as they have to be purchased from outside companies. In this project, companies will introduce new technology for quality measurement and quality control and traceability to the raw material with the help of fast quality analysers, i.e. real-time quality management, already in the cultivation and harvesting phases of the crops and in the company in the drying, sorting, storage and processing phases. Quick-measurement technology would help guide the raw material flow on the basis of quality and ensure traceability from the forest and field through the company. Cost savings would be achieved both in logistics and in laboratory analyses, as the quality level measurement can be done by the company’s employee himself and the result is obtained in a few seconds to guide the next phase of the sample batch. The main objective of the project is to determine a quality fingerprint for the natural raw material in Lapland, which includes the most important quality parameters for exports and directs the rapid measurement equipment to measure the quality level and report deviations in a few seconds at different stages of the primary production chain. The print is based on quality factors defined by the user of the raw material (e.g. basic composition, concentration of certain active compounds, concentration of harmful substances, etc.) that can be measured in a single sample. The project maps the requirements of international buyers for Arctic raw material as well as raw materials collected from companies, from which representative and statistically valid sample data are collected for testing new applications. The project will test the suitability of the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR/NIT) and Raman spectroscopy technology to determine the quality of Lapland’s crop and specialty plants, berries and wild herbs on site in the company, thereby ensuring the quality management and traceability of the primary production chain. The project builds the foundation of the raw material chain quality system, develops the control and traceability of raw material use. The companies will also determine the impact of real-time quality management and raw material control system on the production process together with the Natural Resources Institute Finland.In addition, the project will develop new applications and uses for new raw materials to verify Arctic quality for demo equipment brought by chemical companies to the project. The NIR/NIT method has already been successfully used on the cereal side to determine the technical quality (moisture, protein, starch and hectolitre weight). Now the technology and quality control model is being piloted from the grain side to Lapland for the natural product sector. In addition to the technical quality, this project will take into account, as a new issue, factors related to the safety of the raw material, such as home toxins, pesticide residues, heavy metals and radioactive substances, but also the concentrations of the main bioactive compounds. The analysis of technical quality, disruptors and bioactive compounds has traditionally been done in the laboratory using chemical methods, but this project tests the determination of compounds using rapid measurement methods.
