Microwave-assisted sample preparation for FAME determination

Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) analysis is commonly used to calculate saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fat contents in both food and feed industries and related third-party quality control laboratories. A great number of these laboratories follow various AOCS methods, which rely on the use of standard and outdated techniques, usually employing hazardous reagents. Explore how FAME protocols based on the Milestone’s ETHOS X Microwave-assisted technology are a solid alternative to the conventional technique. Plus, compare the reliability of this microwave-assisted method against the conventional AOCS procedures.
