Adulteration Testing of Edible Oils By FT-NIR
Intentional adulteration of pure edible oils by lower quality oils is an economically advantageous practice. These adulterated oils are a threat to product authenticity and, in some cases, a serious consumer health issue. Companies that utilize edible oils are taking a significant financial liability if they cannot positively authenticate the purity of oils that they are using in the manufacturing of food products. For successful authenticate testing, food companies need a fast and rugged analytical technique that can be used in a production plant environment. FT-NIR is an ideal analysis technique that meets food companies needs for analysis in the matter of seconds and ease of use - without sacrificing the sensitivity needed to discriminate between pure versus slightly adulterated oil samples.
Learn how near-infrared analysis can be used to:
- Ensure edible oil quality at material reception
- Reduce costs with rapid analysis that replaces time-consuming wet-chemistry techniques
- Guarantee final products meet specification before shipment

NIR to the Rescue: Production Efficiency and Cost Savings for Pharma
Reducing costs and improving efficiency have always been a goal, but these needs are increasingly critical for pharmaceutical companies. Near‐infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a non‐destructive analytical tool that provides solutions from drug development to the QA/QC lab, and in at‐line, on‐line, or continuous manufacturing processes. Its potential in the pharmaceutical manufacturing value chain is still expanding.
This webinar highlights NIR’s incredible capabilities across a variety of drug forms, in regulatory compliance, for GMP environments, and more.
Key Learning Objectives
- NIR spectroscopy as an alternative to wet chemistry and HPLC/GC method with the same accuracy but faster, cheaper, and non‐destructively
- What to look for in a hardware‐software platform to assure drug formulation integrity as well as data integrity
- Considerations for integrating NIR technology into the analytical workflow within pharma

Ensuring Integrity of Drug Formulation from Development to QC
Substantial testing is required to assure that chemical and structural integrity are preserved throughout the drug development process to maintain its functionality. Among the techniques used to study changes in chemical integrity are infrared and Raman spectroscopy. This webcast will discuss where efficiencies can be made in data collection, regulatory compliance, instrument qualification, method validation, and data integrity all along the development pipeline up to final quality control (QC) testing. Learn how to quickly identify changes in polymorphic structure, monitor API to excipient distribution, and troubleshoot out-of-specification (OOS) product lots, while preserving data integrity needed for audits.
Key Learning Objectives
- Where along the drug development path can FTIR, NIR and Raman techniques be used and what knowledge is gained
- How to minimize the number of laborious steps in analytical method validation, verification, and transfer to QC and manufacturing
- What to look for in a hardware-software platform to not only assure drug formulation integrity but also data integrity
Run time: 60 minutes
Raw Material Identification with NIR Spectroscopy
Both pharmaceutical and dietary supplement manufactures are required to perform 100% ingredient identity testing under current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations. Supplied materials such as API, bulking agents, lubricants and solvents must be qualified at the point of entry into the factory to ensure finished product integrity. FT-NIR spectroscopy is well-suited for this type of analysis because it is, fast, non-destructive, does not require sample preparation, and can be performed by non-technical operators with limited training. It also allows chemicals with almost any functional group to be identified within seconds replacing costly and time consuming primary wet chemistry techniques such as HPLC.
You will learn how to:
- Achieve rapid, multi-component analysis without chemical or disposable costs
- Replace wet chemistry techniques that are time consuming and labor intensive
- Determine the quality of incoming raw materials at intake
- Monitor and control your process, maximize production, and profitability
