Monitoring Pork Fat Rendering with NIR
BUCHI NIR-Online® sensors: Determination of Free Fatty Acids, Iodine Value (IV), Peroxide Value (PV), and Moisture
NIR spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool for quality control in the pork fat rendering industry. It can quantify essential quality indicators such as moisture content, free fatty acids, protein, iodine value, or peroxide values.
The implementation of NIR spectroscopy in the pork fat rendering process offers several advantages. Firstly, it significantly reduces the need for time-consuming and costly traditional laboratory methods, promoting real-time analysis and process optimization. Secondly, the non-destructive nature of the technique allows for continuous monitoring without compromising the integrity of the product. As a result, pork fat rendering companies can enhance product consistency, optimize resource utilization, and maintain high-quality standards, leading to improved efficiency and profitability in the industry.
