Maximize efficiency in fat and oil extraction for quality control and compliance

March 11, 2025 15:00 GMT / 16:00 CET / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT

Laboratories often face significant challenges when determining the properties of fats and oils, such as long extraction times and inaccurate composition analysis. While Soxhlet extraction is widely used for determining extractable matter across various sample matrices, it can complicate quality control, labeling, product development, and regulatory compliance.

In this educational webinar, Corey Letizio from VELP Scientifica will present practical solutions to help laboratories overcome these hurdles across the environmental, agricultural, and chemical sectors. Top tips and guidance on how to improve accuracy and efficiency by streamlining fat and oil extractions will also be presented.

Key learning objectives:

• Find out how to ensure the accuracy and reproducibility of the fat and extraction process
• Understand the safety measures that need to be in place when working with solvents
• Learn how to optimize extraction conditions while maintaining the reliability of results
• Explore the instruments and accessories needed for an efficient extraction
• Find out how to comply with regulatory standards and guidelines

Who should attend?

• Professionals in food & feed, environmental, agricultural, and chemical sectors, including contract laboratories, wastewater associations, and industrial dischargers.
• Professionals in quality control labs across industries like pulp and paper, plastics, textiles, oil & gas, as well as state labs, universities, and research entities.
