Meet the Food Experts

Food occurs in different
consistencies and is often inhomogeneous. For meaningful analysis, food laboratories require representative samples, which makes homogenization necessary as part of sample preparation. Ideally, this step should involve as little work as possible. The prepared subsample must represent both the laboratory sample and the initial sample. This would not be the case with an inhomogeneous sample, as some components of the initial sample could be over- or under-represented.

In this webinar you will learn more about:

-Homogenization, standard deviation, correct analysis values
-How do I find the optimal method for my sample
-Cryogenic grinding (dry ice, liquid nitrogen)
-Suitable laboratory mills for homogenizing foodstuffs
-Live demos of selected mills
-Application examples
-Grain size determination using sieve analysis

In the context of food analysis, microwave laboratory instruments can deliver precise results within minutes and are also extremely easy to operate. In addition, toxic, corrosive and environmentally hazardous chemicals can be dispensed with, which in turn significantly increases occupational safety..

CEM presents the following applicative solutions on the Big Four/Big Eight of food labeling, § 64 LFGB and for internal quality control:

-Moisture and solids content
-Fat content determination, chemical free and completely universal, according to ISO 16756
-Protein content rapid analysis according to AOAC methods 967.12, 930.33, 930.29 und 2011.04
-Ash content in just a few minutes
-Saturated/unsaturated fatty acids (FAME)
-Hydroxyproline content

Protein analysis in the food sector is crucial for ensuring nutritional quality, accurate food labeling, and compliance with legal requirements. Additionally, it plays a significant role in quality control, product development, and cost control, thereby ensuring the integrity and nutritional value of the products. In the field of food analytics, the Elementrac CN-r, with its modern protein analysis technology, enables rapid and precise measurements within minutes and is also extremely user-friendly. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for environmentally and health-hazardous chemicals, significantly improving workplace safety.
