On-site soybean quality analysis with ProxiScout™
The following study evaluates the ProxiScout™ handheld NIRS analyzer for rapidly and non-destructively predicting oleic and linoleic acid content in soybeans.
Differentiating high-oleic soybeans from conventional ones is crucial for ensuring product quality, meeting labeling requirements, and maximizing value in the supply chain. As the demand for high-oleic soybean oil increases due to regulatory restrictions on trans-fat, food companies require rapid and efficient methods to verify the composition of soybeans received for processing. Traditional laboratory-based techniques, such as Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detection (GC-FID), are time-consuming, costly, and require skilled personnel.
