Discover how TD-NMR systems improve product development by measuring water dynamics, optimizing processing, and enhancing stability.

Explore how LF-NMR distinguishes bound, immobilized, and free water to optimize formulations, drying processes, and product stability.

Learn how water behavior affects rehydration, texture, and performance in food powders. Discover why traditional testing falls short and what modern methods reveal.

Application Example: A Benchtop 1H NMR Workflow on the Fourier 80 (Food, Polymer, & Pharmaceutical Use Cases) Benchtop NMR enables fast, information-rich spectral screening that can support authenticity checks, formulation comparisons, and stability studies across food, polymer, and pharmaceutical workflows. Below is a representative “sample-to-spectrum” process performed on the Fourier 80 Benchtop NMR Spectrometer, showing what the workflow produces and the types of outputs users can export for downstream reporting and chemometric analysis. What This Example Demonstrates This example shows a practical acquisition and analysis flow for routine 1H NMR screening. The workflow begins with experiment setup and acquisition in...

The Need for Rapid Fatty Acid Profiling Fatty acids are central to food quality, nutrition, and consumer health. The balance of saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in foods defines not only the nutritional value of edible oils but also their oxidative stability, flavor, and compliance with regulatory labeling requirements. Traditional approaches, such as gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID), have long been the gold standard. However, GC-FID is time-intensive, requires derivatization, and demands costly laboratory infrastructure. These constraints limit its feasibility for routine quality assurance at production sites and highlight the need for alternative fatty acid...
