Measuring Oil in Snack Food using MQC+

Careful control of oil in snack food is essential in ensuring product consistency in the global snack food industry, one of the fastest growing segments in foods today. It is a highly competitive industry where success requires a high quality and, above all, consistent product to ensure its repeat purchasing.

The oil content of many dried snack foods is a major determinant of texture, mouth-feel, flavour and perceived quality. Careful control of oil in snack food is essential in ensuring product consistency.

Our MQC+ benchtop NMR analyser provides fast, accurate measurements which are routinely used for production control in manufacturing plants of the world’s leading snack food companies. NMR does not require the use of solvents, or complicated chemometric analysis in combination with a very large set of calibration standards which represent all the process variables.
