Moisture, Fat & Protein Raw Meat Analyzer

ProFat

Moisture, Fat & Protein Raw Meat Analyzer

ProFat

Overview
Rapidly determine fat, moisture, and protein content of raw and pre-blended meat with the ProFat™ system. This compact system can be placed at-line and allows for process control, using least cost formulation. The ProFat is an economical solution that provides highly accurate and repeatable fat analysis. This is based on the ProFat's ability to analyze the entire sample, which is more accurate.
Features
  • Accurate analysis of raw meat in 2.5 minutes
  • Provides easy verification of in-line X-ray or NIR systems
  • Does not drift (requires no method calibration)
  • Implements least cost formulation

Dual-Frequency Drying
Analyze wet and dry samples with unmatched speed.
Dual-frequency drying is an innovative process based on a combination of microwave and infrared energy sources controlled by an intelligent processing system. The low frequency microwaves penetrate the entire sample and rapidly remove volatiles through dipole rotation, while high frequency infrared energy evenly heats the surface and removes non-polar components through molecular vibration. This prevents burning and incomplete drying, which can arise from single frequency based Moisture Analyzers. The result is a direct method for virtually any sample type, with faster drying than traditional microwave and infrared-based systems.

Moisture, Fat & Protein in Raw Meat and Meat Blends in 2.5 Minutes

If you will be analyzing cooked meat, check out the ORACLE™.
The SMART 6 ProFat combines microwave moisture measurement with data modeling analysis to rapidly evaluate raw beef, pork, chicken, turkey, lamb, and more with superior accuracy and precision. The rapid analysis can be used for process control to make blend corrections, release materials, and ensure least cost formulation. The SMART 6 ProFat can also be used to verify and maintain performance of NIR or X-ray devices.

The system uses an official AOAC method to rapidly measure the moisture content and a simple curve fitting program to provide the best estimate of fat and protein content. The performance of the system is comparable to the standard oven drying and fat extraction analysis methods.
