THE IMPORTANCE OF MEASURING OIL AND MOISTURE PERCENTAGE IN DRESSINGS AND SAUCES

As technology advances, consumers demand that companies have an infrastructure that allows total control of their production. Ensuring product quality is fundamental for end customers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers to trust the brand.

In the dressing and sauce industry, traditional laboratory procedures take about 6 hours for oil determination and 20 hours for moisture determination. But, the food industry production requires a faster method that provides solutions according to the speed of the manufacturing process. Therefore, Spinlock developed a novel methodology to help with this challenge.

The analytical technique, based on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, allows the simultaneous determination of oil and moisture content in dressings and sauces. This technique eliminates sample preparation, drying, or the use of solvents. It is fast, ecological, and non-destructive. Also, it is worth noting that no technical knowledge is required to operate the SLK-200-NMR equipment, and training is completed in minutes.

This method allows companies to have full control of their production lines, obtain accurate results, and avoid delays and the use of chemicals for the process. Spinlock NMR is cleaner, safer, and faster than chemical quality assurance methods and control processes in the Industry. For this reason today many companies are choosing it over solvent extraction techniques or TGAs.

Advantages:
-Results in less than <5 minutes.
-Does not destroy the sample.
-User-friendly software.
-Worldwide technical support

The importance of determining the percentage of oil in palm and palm kernels

Palm oil is one of the most consumed and used vegetable oils by the Industry. Therefore, being able to accurately determine the amount of oil in palm and palm kernel crops is essential for the following reasons:

1) Economy

Its production is more profitable than that of its substitutes; so, for the Industry, it ends up being an effective ingredient when it comes to lowering costs and competing by appealing to prices.

2) Uses

Both culinary and industrial, the uses of palm oil are numerous. It can be used as frying or dressing oil, as a product added to other foods, such as fat or vegetable oil, as a raw material in the production of biodiesel, in the production of animal feed, for the production of soaps, shampoos, gels bath, lipstick, toothpaste, and creams.

3) Versatility

In food, its solid condition at room temperature and its creamy texture makes it possible to substitute butter or hydrogenated fats in many processed products. While, in other industrial sectors such as cosmetics or cleaning products, it is widely used because it is not easy to replace it with other ingredients.

Therefore, if you are looking to perform good quality control on palm fruit or subproducts, the SLK-200 NMR from Spinlock is the best solution to simultaneously determine the percentage of oil, moisture, oleic acid, linoleic acid. and palmitic acid with a 27 cm3 sample.

8 advantages of the SLK-200:

 

  1. -Does not destroy the sample, which allows repeating the analysis.
  2. -No need to dry the sample.
  3. -Fast and accurate results. Online production control.
  4. -Environment friendly: no chemicals or other supplies used.
  5. -Small and light.
  6. -Low maintenance requirements.
  7. -User-friendly software.
  8. -Worldwide support: Spinlock Online Helpdesk and Spinlock Global Support Network.

Optimize Canola/Rapeseed with this Quality Control Solution

Optimal yield in Canola/Oilseed Rape implies good genetics and efficient control of sowing, crop pests, and harvesting.

Just like any other Oilseed traded with a focus on the Oil Content percentage, the price of any operation will be eventually determined by an Oil Content Analysis, which very likely will be performed by a Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer (ISO 10565 norm). A quality NMR is essential. With Spinlock technology, it is possible to analyze the oil and moisture content (and even oleic acid and protein) fast, precisely, and non-destructively. Companies save time and resources because samples do not need preparation and can be reused without any inconvenience. NMR protects the environment as Chemicals like Hexane are replaced by an innocuous technique. 

Analysis of Canola by Magnetic Resonance is easier and more reliable with the SLK-200.

Advantages of analyzing samples with SLK-200:

– Eco-friendly solution: no solvents, no chemicals.

– Hardware is small and light. Easy to assemble and move.

– Reduced Maintenance Costs.

– Software is easy to operate and manage.

– Technical support around the world through Spinlock Online Helpdesk.

– Results are fast and accurate.

– Does not destroy the sample. Allows unrestricted analysis repetitions.

– Sample does not require prior preparation.

– Stable: does not require daily verification.

 

Laboratories, Chambers, Seedbeds, Oil Industry, and Stockpiles use this equipment. Enterprises such as Syngenta, Corteva, Nuseed, Limagrain, and Cofco (among hundreds of other clients) are already optimizing their processes with SLK-200s worldwide.

MEASUREMENTS IN AVOCADO WITH THE BEST NMR EQUIPMENT: THE SLK-200

It has been almost 2 years since we delivered the first SLK-200 NMR to carry out measurements in Avocado. The client: PRO ORGANICA from Paraguay invested with the aim of using Spinlocks technology to strengthen its quality control and production processes. In this way, thanks to NMR analysis, they can now determine the optimal harvesting time and start their production process timely and efficiently.

Since then, Spinlock’s Technology has continued to improve. Today it is possible to analyze the avocado in seconds, simultaneously determining the percentage of oil, moisture, and dry matter without the need to dry the sample.

“Measurements for quality control can be carried out on fruit such as pomace, pasta, oil, dry matter and avocado mayonnaise. Being the analysis time for a humid sample 2 minutes and for a dry sample only 4 seconds. In addition, as the analysis does not destroy the sample, it allows repeating or re-using the sample.”

 

For more information about this application contact us, your query does not bother. Today, hundreds of Spinlock customers use our technology in more than 20 countries in all continents.
