May 04 2021 In a new article, Oxford Instruments highlight both the cost and time savings using the MQC+ oilseed analyser for optimising seed oil yield instead of Soxhlet extraction or other methods. This is monitored by measuring the oil content of the incoming oilseed and comparing it with the oil content of the residues after pressing and after solvent extraction. The MQC+ oilseed analyser accurately measures the oil and water content of both oilseeds and their residues according to ISO 10565 and ISO 10632 standard methods respectively. The NMR measurement is based on a simple and intuitive linear calibration that is unaffected by granularity, colour, or the origin of the seeds or residue. Therefore, any decisions based on the oil content measurement, whether determining crop value or optimising the crushing process, can be taken with confidence.
