Kemin Customer Laboratory Services (CLS) offers a comprehensive service package designed to monitor oil deterioration and extend the frying life of industrial oils. By reducing the frequency of oil changes and enhancing the quality of fried products, this service helps deliver significant cost savings in industrial frying operations.
At the heart of this solution is Near-Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy, a powerful analytical technique that utilizes the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum to assess oil quality quickly and accurately.
This method enables the measurement of key parameters related to frying oil oxidation and polymerisation, including:
- Anisidine value
- Acid value
- Total polar compounds
- Dimerised and polymerised triglycerides
