Vegetable oils are produced by crushing of oilseeds and solvent extraction from resulting residue. The efficiency of the process can be monitored by measuring the oil content of the incoming oilseed and comparing with the oil content of the residues after pressing and after solvent extraction. 

Our benchtop NMR analyser, MQC+, provides a fast, simple and accurate method of measuring oil and water content without the need for solvent extraction and oven drying which are slow, labour intensive and require skilled operator.
