There are several analytical methods use for the determination
of raw fiber (or its components) in food and feed sectors. Among
them, Weende Method and the AOAC method for determination of total
raw fiber, and furthermore Van Soest methods for Ndf (neutral
detergent fiber) and Adf (Acid detergent fiber). Finally the methods
to determine the single components of the fiber (cellulose,
lignin,...).
Raw Fiber Extractor - FIWE 3
The extraction unit FIWE 3 with 3 places is a flexible solution able
to satisfy all above mentioned analytical needs.
This instrument is able to optimize the operator’s manuality, to
drastically reduce the analysis time, by assuring absolutely
reliable results. FIWE unit allows to perform the analysis in the
operational standardized conditions requested by the official
methods.
Raw Fiber Extractor - FIWE 6 The
analysis of raw fiber in food and feed is important and interesting
for several reasons, but some of the technical issues about
reliability, reproducibility, easiness of use, were, up to now, only
partially solved, whichever method is used.
Considering the diffusion of problems related to nutrition in
general terms, the FIWE 6 for raw fiber
determination, intended for small and medium sample throughput,
is an appropriate answer to those issues.
Cold Raw Fiber Extractor - COEX
Samples that must be subjected to calculation of
the raw fiber must have less than 1% fat content. If the fat content
is greater than 1%, preliminary extraction using acetone, hexane or
petroleum ether is required.
The COEX instrument was developed so as to quickly degrease the
samples inside the crucibles that will then be used on the FIWE 3 or
FIWE 6 for consequent determination of raw fiber.
COEX is the right solution to speed up and otimizing the raw fiber
analysis preliminary phase.
