Monitoring Lecithin Composition with NIR
BUCHI NIR-Online® sensors: Determination of Moisture, Oil Content, and Acid Value in Lecithin
NIR spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique widely used in the quality control of lecithin, a common phospholipid-based emulsifier used in various food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products.
In the context of lecithin quality control, NIR spectroscopy can accurately determine key parameters like moisture, oil content, or acid value as well as other critical quality attributes. The technique is advantageous due to its speed, simplicity, and ability to analyze multiple parameters simultaneously, reducing the need for extensive sample preparation and minimizing wastage.
NIR spectroscopy can be employed as a reliable tool to assess the quality and authenticity of lecithin batches, ensuring consistent product performance and meeting regulatory standards. Its application in the industry enhances process efficiency, reduces costs, and ultimately improves the overall product quality.
