Digestion Units
Nitrogen determination has a long history in the area of analytical chemistry. Internationally recognized and highly
reliable, the Kjeldahl Method is an analytical reference for the quantitative determination of nitrogen contained in organic
substances and inorganic compounds (ammonia and ammonium).

The Kjeldahl analysis is extremely versatile, as it can handle a very wide range of samples from food & feed (grain, meat,
fish, milk, dairy, seeds, vegetables), beverages, environmental (agriculture, oilseeds, soil, fertilizers, water, wastewater,
sludge) to chemical and pharmaceutical industries (paper, textiles, rubber, plastic, polymer).

neutralized using JP Pump and
SMS Scrubber.
NITROGEN mg (Protein %)

The Kjeldahl method consists in a procedure of catalytically supported mineralization of organic material in a boiling
mixture of sulfuric acid and sulfate salt at digestion temperatures higher than 400 °C. During the process the organically
bonded nitrogen is converted into ammonium sulfate. Alkalizing the digested solution liberates ammonia which is
quantitatively steam distilled and determined by titration.

Digesters are widely used in laboratories performing analysis for diversified applications in food&feed, beverage (nitrogen,
protein, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen), environmental (COD, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, Heavy Metal Trace), chemical and
pharmaceutical (organic nitrogen) industries.

Sample preparation procedure prior to fat extraction

for total fat determination
For the majority of food and feed samples, the fats are chemically bonded with other components. In order to determine the
total fat for these samples, preliminary hydrolysis followed by filtration and washing is required to free the fat molecules prior
to extraction.

The analysis with HU 6 complies with official regulations for the declaration of the total fat content of food and feed samples
such as meat, cheese, seafood, chocolate, cereal flours, etc.

Oxidation Stability Reactor
The OXITEST Method
The OXITEST Method is an internationally recognized analytical technique for
the determination of the oxidation stability of food, fats and oils.
Every food, feed and other product containing lipids (creams, lip balms, body
lotions, wax etc.) undergoes oxidation of the contained fat portion, which causes
unpleasant flavor, bad smell and the loss of its natural sensorial qualities.
The stability tests performed with the OXITEST reactor accelerate the oxidation
process that in normal conditions can last weeks or months and provide
fast, accurate and reliable results for Food & Feed, Cosmetic, Pharma and
Petrochemical industries.

The OXITEST method has been recognized as the AOCS International Standard Procedure:

AOCS Standard Procedure Cd 12c-16

Determination of the Oxidation Stability of Foods, Oils and Fats Using the Oxitest
Oxidation Test Reactor

How it works
OXITEST speeds up the oxidation process because of the two accelerating factors, temperature and oxygen pressure. The
instrument measures the absolute pressure change inside the two chambers, monitoring the oxygen uptake by reactive
components in the sample and automatically generates an IP value.

Results
PRESSURE (bar)

Induction Period (IP) 14 h 46 min

(Graphical method)
Test duration 21 h 00 min
Curve 1 Y = -0,003x + 6,18
Curve 2 Y = - 1,575x + 29,43
TIME (hh:mm)

The Induction Period (IP) is the time required to reach the starting point of oxidation, corresponding to either a level of
detectable rancidity or a sudden change in the rate of oxidation. The longer the Induction Period, the higher the stability
against oxidation over time. The operator can create test reports for a single test or compare different analyses for a better
interpretation of the data.

Fiber Analyzers
Fiber Determination in Feed Stuff
Crude Fiber (Weende Method)
The crude fiber is a method of analysis based on the estimation of the amount of fiber or plant cell walls. Crude fiber is also
known as Weende method and is widely spread for the determination of fiber content for monogastrics.

The method is based on the solubilization (digestion) of non-cellulosic compounds by sulfuric acid and potassium
hydroxide solutions. Crude fiber is the loss on ignition of the dried residue remaining after digestion of the sample and is
determined by weight difference.

This method is applicable to grains, meals, flours, feeds, and fiber-bearing material from which fat can be extracted to
leave workable residue.

■ Filtering water ■ Filtering water

Detergent Fiber (Van Soest Method)

Van Soest method is based on the concept that plant cell can be divided into less digestible cell walls consisting of
hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin. As a result it is possible to fraction fiber in NDF, ADF and ADL that are used to estimate
the energy intake from feed and particularly for ruminants.

CELLS
Neutral Detergent Fiber, NDF HEMI- SOLUBLE

SAMPLE
CELLULOSE COMPONENTS

The sample is digested in the Neutral Detergent CELLULOSE LIGNIN

Solution NDS with heat-stable-amylase-treated

enzyme to separate the neutral detergent soluble
fraction (sugars, starches and pectin soluble, filtered)
from the neutral detergent insoluble fraction (cell
walls substances, hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin, NDS
residues). HEMI-

NDF
CELLULOSE

The remaining dry matter is estimated and the CELLULOSE LIGNIN

proportion gives the neutral detergent fiber (NDF).

Acid Detergent Fiber, ADF

The Acid detergent solution (ADS) solubilizes the
hemicellulose while lignin and cellulose remain ADS
insoluble. The residue is weighed for the determination
of ADF. It includes cellulose and lignin. ADS

Acid Detergent Lignin, ADL

The remaining residue from the ADF analysis, is
