Precise NIR food analysis: ZEUTEC's innovative quality control

ZEUTEC Opto-Elektronik GmbH, based in Rendsburg, Germany, has been developing and producing specialized spectrometer systems for scientific applications since 1997. The company offers a wide range of near-infrared (NIR) analyzers for routine laboratory applications, which are used in the agricultural, food, feed and chemical industries worldwide. With high quality standards and continuous quality control, ZEUTEC ensures the long-lasting and reliable performance of its instruments and accessories.

Precision and efficiency: near-infrared spectroscopy from Zeutec for the food industry

Zeutec stands for state-of-the-art near-infrared spectrometers (NIR), which have been specially developed for the fast and precise routine analysis of food. These devices take quality control in food processing to a new level. They enable the reliable determination of important organic parameters such as protein content, moisture, fat content and more - in both solid and liquid foods. The focus is on simple handling combined with outstanding accuracy, making the technology optimally suited to the requirements of modern production processes.

High-precision grain measuring devices: Optimized quality control

One of Zeutec's innovative products is a specially developed grain measuring device that precisely analyzes the protein content and moisture of a wide variety of grains such as wheat, barley and oats. The process is fully automated: A grain sample is fed into the device using a funnel, analyzed and dispensed after a few seconds. The device delivers reliable measurement results within just 30 seconds to a minute. This speed is crucial for processes such as storage, further processing or sales. Thanks to the combination of precision and efficiency, the grain measuring device significantly optimizes work processes.

Versatile application for food parameters

Zeutec appliances offer a wide range of possible applications across numerous food categories. They are not only suitable for solid foods such as chocolate, ice cream or meat, but also for liquid products such as wine. Here, parameters such as alcohol, acidity or sugar content can be measured with the highest accuracy. Special foods such as olive products, pastes or meat compositions - such as the BEFFE content - can also be precisely analyzed.

Scientifically sound measurement methodology

The underlying technology of the Zeutec spectrometers is based on near-infrared spectroscopy, a secondary measurement method that uses light of different wavelengths to measure the absorption of molecular bonds. Mathematical models are used to analyze this data and transfer it to specific parameters such as protein content or fat content. By calibrating the devices using standardized laboratory procedures, Zeutec offers extremely high measurement accuracy. The combination of fast analysis and easy handling should make the Zeutec devices an indispensable tool for companies that rely on precise and efficient quality controls in food processing.
