Learn how protein analysis supports crop growers and plant-based food producers and discover the advantages of developing this capacity in-house in this guide.
Learn how Elementar N/protein analyzers support plant-based food businesses at every step of the supply chain, providing fast and reliable results, regardless of the sample type or size. View detailed data for various plant-based protein powders, as well as milk, sausage, and burger analogues from different protein sources, each in six replicates.
In response to the ever-increasing demand for its healthy and sustainable food products, Beyond Meat expanded its analytical lab capabilities by investing in the rapid MAX N exceed analyzer. Discover how this nitrogen/protein analyzer streamlined ingredients and new product development.
Avebe turned to Elementar to increase production volumes for its signature potato protein product. They optimized protein determination and quality control with the rapid MAX N exceed analyzer, making the process safer, faster, and more efficient to meet increasing consumer demand.
Plantible Foods was looking to invest in new laboratory equipment to quantitate protein across different growth conditions for Lemna, and to track protein across its extraction processes. Learn how Elementar‘s rapid N exceed® helped to optimize production methods.
The use of helium as an inert carrier gas for N/protein analyzers is well established and, until recently, served as the only option for Dumas analyzers. Learn about new carrier gas alternatives when using Elementar's N/protein analyzers for high-performance, cost-effective N/protein analysis.
Determining the total protein content is an essential tool for quality control and protein declaration according to international labeling laws in the food and feed industry and research facilities. Learn the advantages of N/protein determination according to the Dumas combustion method compared to the wet-chemical Kjeldahl method.
