Food Chemistry - Fatty Acid Methyl Esters

Our food chemistry team Aaron and Blessing, this week are working on the validation of new methods for fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) in a range of food matrices.

This will allow us to breakdown total fat data into unsaturated, saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated providing up to 40 different fat types. We are also developing a fast  FAMEs method for most nutritional labelling requirements in under 8 minutes. This will complement our total fats analysis currently completed by NMR analysis.

For further details on fat analysis and speciation and our full suite of food nutritional analysis contact our sales team - sales@fitzsci.ie or 041 9845440.
