PULSED-NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE (NMR)
A Pulsed Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer is primarily used to study the structure and dynamics of molecules by applying short bursts of radiofrequency radiation (RF pulses) to a sample, allowing for detailed analysis of molecular properties like relaxation times, diffusion coefficients, and chemical environment, which are crucial in fields like chemistry, biology, materials science, and medicine.
In food industry, Pulsed NMR has found great applications in determining solid fat content (SFC) which is crucial parameter affecting the sensory, physical and nutritional qualities of the food products like dairy products, chocolates, margarines, baked products etc. The proportion of SFC governs the quality, texture, shelf life, mouth feel and stability of the products. Therefore, precise and accurate measurement of SFC becomes very critical parameter of quality control for manufacturers to meet the quality and customer demands. Although many traditional methods for the determination of SFC are available, Pulsed NMR technique offers eco-friendly, fast, non-destructive, direct and user-friendly method of analysis for SFC.
FARE Labs provides Pulsed NMR training course using this advanced measurement technique with auto sampler which is unique facility available in the market. We offer both online as well as offline mode of training on the instruments. This powerful technique offers high throughput with high accuracy, fast analysis, environmental and user friendly, and non-destructive technique. This technique (low magnetic (20 MHz)) NMR offers very precise and accurate measurement of solid fat contents in oils and fats, and total oil content in oil seeds, chips, biscuits, namkeen and other oil fried products.Â
