OxiTester - Quality control for vegetable oils

CDR OxiTester for Quality Control of Olive Oil




CDR FoodLab systems for fats and oils are analysis systems that can be used to control the quality of oils and fats at the production lines, in real time.

They enable the user to carry out a wide range of tests with a single instrument and in much less time as compared to traditional methods. The analyses panel is specific for the quality control of fats and oils:


The CDR FoodLab systems


 

CDR FoodLab Touch: designed for different kinds of fats and oils, is configured with the complete analyis panel (complete configuration)It is able to analyse 16 samples at the same time, fitted with 5,7" LCD touchscreen, printer, incubation cells, ethernet (LAN) connection,USB for PC connection, USB for the transfer of the analyses data.

 

 

CDR FoodLab Junior: designed for different kinds of fats and oils, can be configured with some analyses of your choice (tailored configuration) It is able to analyse 3 samples at the same time, fitted with 4,3" LCD touchscreen, USB for PC connection, bluetooth 2.1


 

How they work

Each test is performed by dispensing a pre-determined amount of sample into the cuvette containing the buffer. A colourimetric reaction then takes place which is read by the analyser.

The results of the test are produced immediately after the photometric reading, in its relative unit of measure.

Ready to Use

The systems are designed to be used by anyone, without the support of skilled staff. The analysis methods are easier than traditional ones and can be performed in only a few steps. If any prompting is needed, the "step by step" guide, directly displayed on the touchscreen, leads theoperator through the process.

 

Reliable

This measuring system owes its sensitivity, accuracy and reliability to the photometric technology based on LED luminous sources.

The results of the analyses are correlated with reference methods.

 

Reduced testing times

It is possible to analyse 16 samples at the same time and to constantly monitor the production process, obtaining exact and accurate answers in just a few minutes.

The multitasking mode allows the user to manage the determinations of several analytical parameters at the same time. It allows the system to process one analysis and to start another one at the same time, with the option to return to the first one anytime.


The Advantages of the CDR FoodLab systems

In conclusion, here is how CDR FoodLab systems simplify and support food quality control:

  • Ease of use - no skilled staff necessary; moreover the "step by step" guide assists the operator in case of uncertainty about the analysis method procedure;
  • Utilisation of simple and optimised methods, rapid to perform, without risks, without waste and without the need of a specially equipped laboratory;
  • Removes the necessity to engage an external laboratory;
  • Allows you to make rapid and safe decisions: in a few minutes you obtain reliable results on your samples;
  • The system gives accurate results, verified by the correlation curves and the conformity with reference chemical analysis methods;
  • The system performs a complete range of analyses for the control of the food production process;
  • Small size dimensions, compact and does not require maintainance: the system is a spectrophotometer fitting the analytical needs of food producers.

Analysis

CDR FoodLab systems for fats and oils are the ideal solution to control the quality at production lines in real time. This is why they are used by several food industries worldwide that use oils and fats as ingredients.

For instance:

  • You can test the shelf life of bakery products, snacks and creams in a simple and rapid way, monitoring the oxidation status and the rancidity of the oils contained in the differentproducts
  • If employed for fried food production lines, CDR FoodLab systems for fats and oils can quickly check the quality of cooking oil, frying oil and verify the shelf life of fried snackssimply and accurately.
  • If used in combination with CDRs extraction system, a zero toxicity system, CDR FoodLab systems for fats and oils control the quality of raw materials or finishedproducts in industries that produce, process and package nuts and hard-shelled dry fruit.
  • Due to the small amount of sample required, it is very cost-effective for use by producers of high price oils, like essential oils or cosmetics.
  • The analysis of plant-derived natural oils for different uses: for cosmetics, functional foods, nutritional use, pharmaceutical use, (almond oil, camelina oil, soya oil, etc.)
  • The analysis of marine oils like fish oils and algae oils for nutraceutical and other uses.
  • The analysis of vegetable oils, animal fats and oils for energy use (burning oils or biodiesel).
  • Accurate process control for refined fat due to special curves that work properly at very low range of Peroxide Value (PV) and Free Fatty Acids (FFA).
  • A very quick sample treatment allows CDR Foodlab systems for fats and oils to test flours, feeds, butter and margarine as well.
