Food | Fat Oil and Essential Oil

The analysis of the purity and quality of animal and vegetable fats and oils as well as essential oils can easily be done with refractive index measurement. Anton Paar refractometers are in compliance with international regulations such as ISO, AOAC and international pharmacopoeias and offer a refractive index scale and a butyro scale reading.

Along with carbohydrates and proteins, fats and oils belong to the basic building blocks of human nutrition. There are two groups of oils and fats: vegetable oils extracted from plants or nuts and animal oils which are found in milk products and meat. Oils consist of triglyceride. They can be saturated or unsaturated. Oils which are solid at room temperature are referred to as fats.
