¹H-NMR Analysis for Oils & Fats – Comprehensive, Fast, and Precise

With our ¹H-NMR analysis, we determine the composition and quality of plant-based and animal-derived oils and fats in a single measurement. By simultaneously assessing oxidation parameters, degradation products, and accompanying substances, authenticity, freshness, and adulteration can be reliably evaluated.
Whether rapeseed oil, olive oil, algae oil, or other sources – each fat matrix is unique. Our method provides clear statements for quality assessment and is ideally suited for routine analytics and quality control.
Our ¹H-NMR method provides comprehensive characterization in a single analysis step:
  • Fatty acid profile: determination of saturated, mono-, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, including omega-3
  • Oxidation status: detection of peroxides, aldehydes, and free fatty acids
  • Hydrolysis products: quantification of free fatty acids and diglycerides
  • Fatty Acid Parameters: calculation of peroxide value, anisidine value (possible for many oils), and iodine value
  • Fat-associated Compounds: determination of characteristic compounds such as squalene (olive oil) or thymoquinone (black cumin oil); quantification of sterols and tocopherols
The analysis is fast, straightforward, and requires only minimal sample preparation. It replaces multiple conventional methods with a single, robust test.

¹³C-NMR – For Deeper Insights into Fat Structure

With ¹³C-NMR analysis, we determine the distribution of saturated, monounsaturated, and various polyunsaturated fatty acids at the sn-1,3 and sn-2 positions of the glycerol backbone – a decisive feature for distinguishing natural from industrially modified fats.
This structural information is particularly relevant for authenticity testing, functional properties, and regulatory requirements.
With just one analysis, you gain comprehensive insights into the quality, composition, and authenticity of your oils and fats – ensuring safety, transparency, and efficiency.
