FT-NIR analaysis for fish & seafood sector - Food and Beverage - Food
The global seafood market has greatly expanded due to advancements in fishing vessels, improvements in food processing and storage, and the development of the industry in new countries. While this expansion has increased market size and product choice for consumers, it has also brought on new challenges for quality testing as well as the expansion of illegal practices and fraud. Strict regulations exist but are difficult to enforce in practice. Visual inspection is usually insufficient to determine if a seafood product meets quality standards.

Overview Applications and Industries Served
Traditional methods for monitoring parameters of interest include HPLC, GC, wet chemistry, and in some cases, microscopic or DNA testing. These methods are labor intensive, time-consuming, ill-suited for large scale testing, can only measure one parameter at a time, and can require the use of expensive solvents and reagents. FT-NIR spectroscopic analysis is fast, requires no sample preparation, and can analyze multiple parameters with a single measurement.
