Total fat, FAMEs, and amino acids: modern sample prep workflows for nutritional analysis
Food & Feed Sample Preparation Webinar Series
Ensuring food and feed quality requires reliable determination of both contaminants and nutrients, yet sample preparation remains one of the most challenging and time-consuming steps in the analytical workflow. This webinar series introduces modern approaches to digestion and extraction that improve data quality, reduce reprocessing, and increase laboratory productivity. Through four dedicated events, covering heavy metals, organic contaminants, macro/trace minerals, and nutritional parameters such as fats, FAMEs, and amino acids, participants will discover optimized, practical workflows tailored to real-world food and feed testing.
Session: Total fat, FAMEs, and amino acids: modern sample prep workflows for nutritional analysis
Determinations of total fat, FAMEs, and amino acids are fundamental to nutritional labeling and product development, yet traditional workflows can be labor-intensive and solvent-heavy.
In this webinar session, we will present modern microwave-based approaches for extraction and hydrolysis that simplify workflows, improve reproducibility, and reduce solvent use. Through real application examples, we will show how these technologies enable faster, safer, and more consistent preparation of samples for nutritional analysis. Participants will learn how to streamline complex workflows while maintaining high analytical performance.
