Learn how to utilize FT-NIR spectroscopy for quantification, identification, and authentication of edible oils such as olive oil, whether in a laboratory setting or during production. Join a virtual workshop featuring expert advice and hands-on demonstrations, and discover why FT-NIR spectroscopy is a potent alternative to conventional technologies in quality control for edible oils and oil seeds.
FT-NIR spectroscopy offers more than just analyzing the general composition of oil to ensure suitability for a given task and compliance with standards. It can also determine oxidation parameters, providing insights into the product’s shelf life. Dedicated examples, such as the analysis of olive oils, frying fats, and marine oils, will be highlighted in this webinar.
Agenda:
- Dagmar Behmer, representing Bruker Optics, will provide insight into the workings of FT-NIR spectroscopy and present an overview of Bruker’s robust FT-NIR analyzers. Bruker’s portfolio encompasses analyzers ranging from compact, touch screen-operated models to fully automated in-process systems designed for analyzing oilseeds and finished oils across the entire manufacturing process. Attendees will gain knowledge about the calibration packages tailored for different oil types and the parameters they encompass.
- Experience a hands-on demonstration from Bruker’s application lab showcasing the user-friendly nature of FT-NIR spectroscopy for analyzing both oils and oilseeds. This demo will provide valuable insights into integrating FT-NIR spectroscopy into your laboratory routine.
- Sven Seifer of Maxfry will discuss how FT-NIR technology has accelerated the development of additives for the frying industry and its integration into their daily quality control routines. Additionally, Maxfry has pioneered analytical services for assessing olive oils using FT-NIR spectroscopy. This includes determining factors such as age, remaining shelf-life, identity, potential degradation, quality characteristics, and aroma profile. Maxfry’s FT-NIR-based tools are trusted by a wide range of private and public institutes, as well as numerous testing bodies.
- Join Bruker for a live Q&A session, where dedicated members of the team will help to answer your questions regarding the use of FT-NIR spectroscopy.
