FOOD ANALYSIS LAB

INTRODUCTION

There is a range of possible instruments and systems used for food testing analysis such as spectrometers, refractometers, titrators, moisture analysers, as well as scientific instruments such as GC-FID and FTIR-ATR, respectively.

Some of the key application offers in Food Analysis Laboratory are used for are:

1. Food chemistry analysis, such as moisture, ash, fat, crude fibre, dietary fibre, pH, salt, sugar etc. compliance with AOAC methodology.
2. Food shelf-life studie

 

EQUIPMENT HIGHLIGHT

GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHY FLAME IONIZATION DETECTOR (GC-FID)

The GC-FID is well suited for analysis of hydrocarbon, organic substances containing hydrocarbons as well as for volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

 

FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED (ATTENUATED TOTAL REFLECTION) SPECTROMETER (FTIR-ATR)

The FTIR offers quantitative and qualitative analysis for organic and inorganic samples whereby it identifies the chemical bonds in a molecule by producing an infrared absorption spectrum.

 

FIBERTECH SYSTEM

Designed for rapid determination of dietary fibre according to established enzymatic methods, including those approved by AOA, AACC, NMKL and Asp.

 

ABBE REFRACTOMETER

For the ease in measure the refractive index of the solid, liquid, semi-liquid samples, as this refractometer directly indicates a measured value in refractive index or Brix (%).

 

TITRATION UNIT AUTOMATIC

A dedicated high-throughput titration unit that can perform parallel operations via integration with small, medium, or large size samples while obviating many errors in operation and recording, improving safety, and maintaining data standards that meet the rigorous compliance expectations 

NITROGEN DRYING OVEN

These ovens protect parts from oxidation using any non-flammable gas such as Nitrogen, Argon, or Carbon Dioxide as the horizontal air flow surrounds work on shelves or large parts placed directly on the optional reinforced workspace on the bottom.
