• Analysis of Fats in Food Products with GC-TOFMS

  Reporting the fat content of food on packaging material is required for many products. For this reason, the ability to detect and distinguish different types of fats is important. The AOAC has an official method, Method 996.06, for the detection of fats (total, saturated, and unsaturated) that uses GC paired with FID to separate fatty acids, derivatized with methylation.

• Analysis of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in Fish Oil Supplements by Gas Chromatography with High-Performance Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry

  The American Heart Association recommends eating two servings of fish per week, specifically fish with high fat content such as tuna and salmon. In this study, the advantages of using the Pegasus GC-HRT to analyze complex matrices such as fish oil are highlighted.

• Moisture Determination in Milk and Milk Products

  Moisture Content is a key parameter for all food and feed laboratories. It is needed for dry base calculations as well as for the general water content determination. In milk and milk products, the amount of total solids TS is an important parameter. Additionally, dairy products such as cheese require water content analysis for dry base calculations. This webinar gives an overview of automated thermogravimetry system, that analyzes simultaneously up to 16 samples for moisture content.

• New Dimensions in Non-Targeted Screening of Complex Aroma Profiles

  Joining us from The Open University, UK, Dr. Geraint Huw Morgan, STEM Research Infrastructure Lead and Director of the Centre for Analytical Solutions, present an in-depth exploration of non-targeted screening techniques for complex aroma profiles. Drawing on his extensive experience in developing advanced methods for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), Dr. Morgan highlights innovative approaches and methodologies using advanced technologies like GCxGC-MS, and TOF-MS.
