Cooking oil analysis

Cooking oil metamorphism is a major issue of the related industries.It happened in the process of storage, caused by free radical oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, lead to the end product of smell and taste.In the past 20 years, the food industry has to use in all kinds of food antioxidants based on natural plant extracts.Its purpose is to protect the shelf life of products from the free radical oxidation, instead of using traditional synthetic food additives.Many developed in the 1950 s and '60 s synthetic additives, now is have an adverse effect upon health.

• To develop a longer shelf life products
  
• To accelerate the development of the new formula
  
• To shorten time to market
  
• The performance of the validation of new raw materials
  

Recently, there is a new trend, that is, the cooking and the combination of science, the so-called "innovation kitchen".Here, the team of scientists and culinary experts, combined with the natural health ingredients produced unique new formula.One aspect of the kitchen "innovation" is the new formula and recipes for testing, to optimize its shelf life.Many old test methods still in use, but some of these methods require longer shelf life testing time, therefore, validation of new product launch time is longer.Electron spin resonance (ESR) provides a testing technology, can measure many materials, including oil and foods containing oils) oxidation in the process of formation of free radicals.In many cases, the validation of new products of free radical oxidation resistance half time can be shortened.

Brooke developed an with the function of automation desktop electron spin resonance instrument and the software solution, specially used to measure free radical oxidation and shelf life of food.The composite system and SOP for measuring oxidation curve in food samples provides a simple workflow.

• To determine the resistance to oxidation in 30 minutes
  
• Measurement of free radicals rather than the final product
  
• Includes the SOP for sample preparation and analysis
  
• Small size, light weight
