Fourier 80 for Food & Beverage Analysis

Ensuring the authenticity and quality of food is more critical than ever. The Fourier 80 Benchtop NMR provides fast, non-destructive analysis for a variety of food and beverage applications, delivering precise insights for food manufacturers, quality control labs, and regulatory agencies. Possible food applications include:

• Olive Oil Authentication & Quality Control – Detect fraud, verify origin (Greece, Italy, Spain), and ensure compliance with IOC-regulated olive oil parameters such as acidity, peroxide value, and sterol content. See more details here. 
• Milk Composition Analysis – Distinguish lactose-free vs. regular milk, analyze fat and sugar content, and ensure consistent product quality.
• Coffee Profiling & Fraud Detection – Differentiate between Arabica and Robusta coffee beans using specific NMR markers and quantify caffeine content.
• General Food Screening – Monitor fat content, molecular composition, and potential adulterants to ensure high product integrity.

In addition to these food applications, the Fourier 80 is designed to support a broad range of applications across multiple industries including pharmaceuticals, forensic science, chemical synthesis, academic research, and education.
