Reference methods guide: Using proximate analysis as the basis for NIR calibrations

16 Jul 2023

In this application note, BUCHI provides a helpful guide on protein and fat determination, a topic of critical commercial concern to food and pet food manufacturing companies to ensure their products abide by the appropriate laws and legal declaration requirements. Official reference methods are discussed, along with their use in creating near-infrared (NIR) calibrations that can streamline production processes and ultimately cut costs in food and pet food industries.

SpeedDigester K-439

BUCHI

Fully automated IR digestion due to precise temperature control The automatic SpeedDigester K-439 features precise temperature control and an easy to read graphical display which allow for an easy and automated digestion process and uniform, standardized sample processing. The complete digestion process occurs through precise temperature/time control. The temperature control makes it possible to verify the temperature with an external reference sensor, IQ/OQ can be performed. High throughput with very little manual operation The heat-up and cool-down periods are considerably shortened compared to classical block digestion. Therefore the total time needed for digestion is significantly reduced which leads to an increase in sample throughput. Fast and automated processing with excellent reproducibility and accurate temperature control, combined with the highest safety measures, make the SpeedDigester K-439 an incredibly convenient infrared digester.
