Rapid In-Process Analysis of Fat in Cheese

The Nicolet Antaris FT-NIR analyzer offers a non-destructive alternative to existing protocols used in predicting fat and dry matter in cheese, reducing the amount of time, materials and labor involved. A released application note discusses the advantages of FT-NIR over traditional testing methods and is suited for QA/QC scientists and engineers who currently rely on wet chemistry methods to test their production processes. The fast, easy and accurate method helps to obtain data rapidly enough for controlling the process of raw materials and additives blending in melting pots, saving raw materials and sustaining a constant quality of products. In addition, FT-NIR testing can be further extended to other components such as moisture or protein. The analyzer allows for the collection of a single spectrum in <60 sec. This multivariate analysis technique allows the analyst to predict multiple components of cheese from the single spectrum.
