7 Food & Beverage Analysis
Frequently asked questions for beverage analysis with ion chromatography
The analysis of beverages is extremely important for the general health of the population. Hydration is one of our basic physiological needs, meaning that when we are dehydrated a number of problems can occur. It is therefore incredibly important for standards to be set by regulatory agencies regarding the content of our beverages and maintained by those who produce our drinks. Reliability in analysis is thus critical for many stages in the production process: product monitoring, quality control, and general content determination.
Ion chromatography is a simple, yet robust analysis technique that can measure several components in beverages with relative ease compared to other technologies. Typically, conductivity detection is used for IC analysis. Other options are available though, including UV/ VIS and amperometric detectors for more specialised analysis.

ilmt.co/PL/jMKp Screening and quality control of palm oil with NIR spectroscopy
Palm oil is an edible oil from the fruit of oil palm trees and can either be produced into palm kernel oil or red palm oil. It found in more than 50% of prepackaged consumer goods - from pizza to deodorant. Currently, plantations in Indonesia and Malaysia supply over 85% of palm oil used all over the world.
Screening and quality control are critical in ensuring that certain specifi cations are met for palm oil use in several industries. One simple way to do this is with near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. NIR spectroscopy is not only useful for quality control during production, but also for companies that procure palm oil and need to assess it quality before using it in other products. The two major advantages for using NIR spectroscopy when dealing with palm oil is the simplicity regarding the sample measurement and the speed at which it can be done.

Effi cient sample preparation and high-capacity columns for successful food and beverage analysis
In today’s consumer-driven market, the demand for transparency and knowledge regarding the ingredients present in food and beverages has never been greater. Consumers expect accurate information about the products they purchase for numerous reasons including dietary restrictions and health concerns. As a result, regulatory bodies have imposed increasingly stricter regulations to ensure that product quality standards are upheld.
Analysing food and beverage samples presents considerable challenges due to both the extensive array of analysts involved and the complexity of the sample matrix. These samples can cause issues with the analytical procedure because of their heterogeneous nature and different physical properties.
Ion chromatography (IC) is a versatile and indispensable tool for the analysis of various regulated components in food and beverage samples. When analysing such highly loaded matrices with IC, sample preparation and column capacity are two of the most essential factors for success.
