Need for Speed: Testing Edible Oils & Fats with FT‑NIR Spectroscopy

油和脂肪被认为是我们日常饮食的必需营养素，并为各种身体功能的调节做出了重大贡献。各种参数用于评估可食用脂肪和油的质量，包括脂肪酸成分，碘值，游离脂肪酸（FFA），反式脂肪酸（TFA），亚赛亚二胺值（ANV）和许多其他参数。

Traditional analyses are usually performed using standardized chemical and physical methods, which are often time-consuming and involve high operating costs, such as chromatographic techniques. These often require hazardous solvents and reagents that can pose health risks and increase disposal costs.

Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR) on the other hand is fast, cost-effective and safe to use, even for untrained personnel, as no sample preparation is required. It has been a well-established technique in the agricultural sector for decades and is today an important element of quality control in the food industry.

Bruker’s solutions for the edible oil industry

Dagmar Behmer will explain how FT-NIR spectroscopy works and give an overview on Bruker’s rugged FT-NIR analyzers. The portfolio ranges from small footprint, touch screen operated analyzers to fully automated in-process systems for the analysis of oilseeds and finished oils throughout the entire manufacturing process.

FT-NIR光谱法不仅会分析油的一般组成，以了解它是否适​​合给定任务，以及质量是否按照标准为标准。它还可以确定氧化参数，以评估产品的保质期确定。将展示专门的例子，例如对橄榄油，油炸脂肪和海洋油的分析。

How Lesieur implemented FT-NIR in their daily routine

Lesieur is a centenary French company which produces a variety of vegetable oils and condiment sauces across its many factories. A tight quality control which gives you instant feedback on the key parameters is essential for making fast decisions on how to proceed with the product at each processing step. Also, the detection of adulteration to ensure there are no traces of previously bottled oils in the current bottle is crucial. Mickael Watiez will show how Lesieur is today using FT-NIR for an array of applications along their production.

Validating FT-NIR methods for the routine use

Mickael Watiez and Dagmar Behmer will illustrate which norms are already available and show examples to how to validate FT-NIR methods for the routine use in your lab and in the process.

• 发现Bruker为食用石油行业的分析解决方案投资组合。
• Learn how FT-NIR can be utilized for analyzing quality and authenticity of edible oils & fats in the lab as well as online.
• See how Lesieur implemented FT-NIR spectroscopy in their daily routine analysis.
• Get an insight on how to validate spectroscopic methods for the routine use.
  

The webinar will appeal to anybody involved in quality control of edible oils & fats, but also oilseeds in the laboratory or production floor. It will also be relevant to people working in the food industry using oils and fats in their production process.
