The determination of protein and nitrogen is a fundamental part of the development and production of plant-based food products.
However, the analysis of protein and nitrogen often involves time-consuming sample preparation, lengthy analysis methods, instruments that are complex to use, and tedious maintenance work, particularly when there are many samples to be analyzed.
This can lead to R&D and quality control departments not working as efficiently as they could, needlessly slowing down the production process of plant-based protein products. However, Elementar is here to help.
Elementar’s mission is its customer’s success. With 125 years of experience in elemental analysis, the company supports agricultural and food production businesses globally to produce high-quality foods.
The Dumas combustion analyzers from Elementar enhance nitrogen and protein analysis, supporting process optimization and the growth of your business.
Benefits of Elementar’s Analyzers
Elementar’s analyzers help users take nitrogen and protein analysis to the next level.
Flexible
Users can conduct nitrogen and protein analysis along the whole supply chain of plant-based food using a wide variety of sample matrices – including liquid, solid, or pasty samples up to 5 g in weight.
Cost-Effective
The resource-saving EAS REGAINER® technology and the utilization of argon or CO2 as alternative carrier gases means that the analyzers are particularly cost-effective, meaning that production is independent from increasing helium costs.
Eco-Friendly
No toxic chemicals are used, and the Dumas combustion method combined with the EAS REGAINER® technology means that the analyzers are eco-friendly and resource-saving. The analyzers are simple and non-hazardous to operate – even for unskilled users.
Easy to Use
The analyzers are fully automated and digitized, reducing time and labor. Pre-filled tubes and easily accessible components also enable fast and easy maintenance routines.
Maximum Performance for Plant-Based Protein Analysis
Elementar’s rapid MAX N exceed and rapid N exceed® are nitrogen and protein analyzers that deliver rapid and automated nitrogen and protein determination with high precision and accuracy. This makes them ideal for use across the whole food supply chain, from raw ingredients to end products.
Based on high-temperature combustion according to Dumas (compliant to all relevant norms including AOAC, ISO, AOCS, ICC, ASBC, and EBC), Elementar’s analyzers are eco-friendly and safe to work with as they do not involve the use of any toxic chemicals or the production of any toxic waste.
Elemtar’s resource-saving EAS REGAINER® technology enables its analyzers to provide a cost-effective and eco-friendly nitrogen and protein determination in solid, pasty, or liquid samples.
