Oil Spectrophotometer
Oil Spectrophotometer
Uniphos Envi Rotronic Pvt. Ltd. offers Oil Spectrophotometer. The fats and oils obtain metal contents from soils where the plants are grown and after that from contact equipment during crushing, processing and storage. Many of the metal ions promote auto-oxidation that results in off-flavour and odour accompanied by colour development. The studies have identified copper as the most harmful metal followed by Fe, Mn, Cr and Ni. Concentration of these ions varies from 0.1 to 2.0 ppm. The oil spectrophotometer, which UEPL has developed in collaboration with CSIO, is a microprocessor based non depressive spectrophotometer tailor made for the analysis of the above mentioned metal elements in the oil. The instrument is light weighted and moderately priced. The sample oils are treated with other reagents to form coloured dyes. The absorbance on this coloured dye is measured on the instrument, which is a menu driven instrument. The instrument measures the absorbance of the sample and compares it to the stored calibration data and calculates the metal concentration in ppm and displays it on the digital display of the instrument.
