Chemical Analyses for Quality Control of Nuts

CDR FoodLab® is the analysis system that allows to perform fast quality controls on nuts and seeds in order to determine their oxidation status, abandoning the use of toxic solvents like Soxhlet involved in traditional testing methods.

CDR FoodLab® easily performs chemical analyses on nuts and seeds to determine their oxidation status and efficaciously monitor the natural degradation and rancidity process of batches of product.

With no use of toxic solvents, the system can determine:
Free Fatty Acids in 1 minute
Peroxide Value in 4 minutes
p-Anisidine Value in 6 minutes

CDR FoodLab® can analyze micro-quantities of samples by extracting the oil with a simple mechanical treatment. No maintenance and calibration is required. The system can be used not only in a laboratory, but also real time at processing plant, even by staff with no previous specific lab tech experience.
