On-site trans-fat analysis in butter and margarine with ProxiScout
9 Oct 2025Monitoring trans-fat levels in butter and margarine is essential for quality control, nutritional labelling, and regulatory compliance. Conventional methods like gas chromatography are slow, costly, and require extensive sample prep, making routine analysis challenging.
Discover how transflectance spectroscopy and portable near infrared (NIR) technology enable fast, non-destructive trans-fat measurement, supporting efficient and reliable dairy product assessment.

Near Infrared SpectroscopyNear-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy measures the interaction of near-infrared light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance and absorbance, facilitating the identification of analytes. Measurements can be conducted using a Fourier-transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectrometer, while there are also UV-Vis- NIR spectrophotometers that measure a broader spectrum of wavelengths.
