OXITEST Reactor for accelerated oxidation tests
F30900248 OXITEST Reactor for accelerated oxidation tests
Supplied with: dedicated software (10002948), serial cable (A00000005), 6 sample holders (10001985), 4 spacers (10001984)
Features:
By using the OXITEST instrument, it is possible to quickly estimate the oxidative stability of foods in the presence of an oxidative environment at high temperature (up to 95oC) and pressure (0 - 8 bar). In this way the oxidation process is speeded up and you can quickly observe the food's intrinsic resistance to growing rancid and thus its oxidative stability.
The instrument has two separate oxidation chambers for performing two analyses on the same food (duplicates) or for analysing different samples in the same operating conditions simultaneously. Dedicated software lets the operator follow and record the oxidative process inside the two reaction chambers and calculate the induction period.
Unlike traditional systems, OXITEST lets you make the analysis directly on the complete food without having previously separated the fats it contains, with the necessary associated activities being simplified and with the analyst saving a considerable amount of time.
Accessories supplied with the instrument: sample holder containers and spacers made of material highly resistant to chemical aggression that allow different types of foods to be analysed with different quantities of product Each single chamber can accommodate up to a 3 sample holder (up to 35 ml. capacity each)
Shelf- life: The reactions occurring between oxygen and several sensitive components of foods is one of the most important causes of quality alteration of food products. In particular, autoxidation (or growing rancid) of fats contained in foods is recognised as being one of the main factors conditioning the shelf life (commercial life) of the foods.
This is why Velp Scientifica has developed OXITEST, an innovative research instrument able to provide very valuable additional information about the processes of fat oxidation in foods.
