Back to Applications

FFC NMR relaxometry can offer solutions for the food and agriculture industries, particularly for quality control, shelf-life and denomination of origin. The NMRD profile is sensitive to dehydration, oxidation, spoilage, and the addition of additives including adulterants that may lead to fraudulent products Below are some examples of these applications.

Please contact Stelar if you would like information on any application not listed here or you would like to try a new application.

Use

Cocoa butter for chocolate: Crystal forms and diffusion

Quality control: Spoilage of milk-based products

Quality control: Dry-curing of ham

Shelf-life of meat Dehydration of pork

Shelf-life of fruit Dehydration of blueberries

Food storage conditions Liquified honey and fermentation

AUTHENTICATION OF VEGETABLE OILS: Rape seed oil
