Trans Fatty Acids

In some countries nutritional labels are required to include the trans-fatty acid content. As a result, the vegetable oil industry is developing new processing procedures to minimize the formation of trans-fats. There is also a need to check finished
food products for trans fat. The InfraSpec VFA-IR Spectrometer is a portable and rugged analyzer that brings the measurement out of the laboratory to
where it is needed, in the production area, on a loading dock or in a warehouse. With an at-line measurement, process changes such as lowering the temperature during hydrogenation or catalyst recycling can be quickly tested for their effectiveness in lowering trans fat levels.
