New Regulatory Requirements for Measuring TiO2 in Foods
Food manufacturers must ensure that TiO2 is within safe levels and correctly listed on a product label. However, measuring TiO2 in food products presents some challenges for the analysis via common atomic spectroscopy. Titanium dioxide may also be present in foods as nanoparticles, which requires specialized measurement techniques if the nanoparticles are to be quantified separately. Agilent is developing the measurement methodology to help manufacturers meet these new regulations.
Poster Presentation - RISE imaging of various phases of SiC in sintered silicon-carbide ceramics
November 12th 2024In this poster presentation applications manager Ute Schmidt discusses the use of correlative Raman-SEM (RISE Microscopy) imaging for analyzing silicon-carbide (SiC) ceramics. The main focus of the work is investigating the distribution of sub-micron structured polytypes of SiC grains on and below the surface.
FT-IR gas analysis of coal-to-ethylene glycol process
October 31st 2024Coal-to-ethylene glycol is the process by which ethylene glycol is synthesized from coal instead of traditional methods using petroleum as the raw material. This study demonstrates that Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) can be a reliable alternative to simultaneously measure methyl nitrite and other process gases (such as CO and NO) using a single ABB analyzer.
