Identification and Verification of Fatty Acids
1 Dec 2017This application note describes the utilization of the Metrohm Instant Raman Analyzer Mira. M-3 for identification and verification of fatty acids, similar to those found in cosmetics or nutraceuticals. Nutraceuticals are food-derived products that claim to provide extra health benefits in addition to basic nutritional value and can be found in gel caps. Determination of ingredient identity and purity are essential to product quality, and inspection of ingredients prior to the start of the manufacturing process will prevent costly time delays and substandard product quality.

Raman SpectroscopyRaman spectroscopy is used to discern the vibrational and rotational states of molecules and hence the chemical composition of a sample by measuring the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light. Explore a range of Raman spectrometers, including handheld/portable Raman spectrometers for QC/QA labs and in situ spectrometers for processes. Conduct Raman imaging for microanalysis of mixed samples using a Raman microscope. Raman spectrographs are also available.
