FOODLAB system at the Barcelona TecnoAlimentaria - Barcelona food technology - Fira de Barcelona
Montjuic-2 - Stand B 215 Pavilion 1 Liqma Area.
CDR, research and development company for food testing systems, will be present with the FOODLAB system at the Barcelona TecnoAlimentaria from March 7 to 11:
Montjuic-2 - Stand B 215 Pavilion 1 Liqma Area.









Innovative characteristics of the FoodLab System
  • Innovative testing with very low toxicity: the tests use non dangerous solvents and components.
  • Waste minimization: tests in previously dispensed single use cuvettes (vol. 1 ml).
  • Micro quantities of sample required (5-100µl): this makes it easy to test oils and fats extracted from food.
  • High sensitivity and precision guaranteed by the easy calibration system guided on the instrument with known standards. The official method from which the peroxide test was engineered is IDF, which shows greater sensitivity on small amounts and refers to stable standards, unlike the AOCS methods.
  • Instrument alignment with three or more standard samples (quadratic regression method inserted on instrument).
  • Maintenance Free thanks to its completely electronic construction, with LED emitters and no circulating liquids. The printer is the only mechanical component.
  • Easy test execution even by untrained personnel which, together with the elevated safety characteristics, allows positioning the analytic system near the production line to carry out a real time quality control.
  • Tested on different fat and oil matrices.
  • Results comparable to those obtained using the official ISO method.
  • Compliant with the analytical criteria required by the EC directive for olive oil.
  • Capability of transferring data to a Host via RS232 serial line.
  • Compatibility (XML protocol) with LIMS corporate computer systems.
  • It is possible to insert alphanumeric ID of the samples.
  • Barcode gun for sample traceability is optional.

The analytical method and the instrument were subjected to evaluation tests at Sinal certified laboratories such as: the Laboratorio Standard Latte dell'Associazione Italiana Allevatori (Milk Standard Laboratory of the Italian Breeders Association) and the Neotron laboratory.

Outcome of the test carried out by the Neotron Laboratory:

“The Cdr FOODLAB is easy to use. The tests carried out relative to the determinations of the number of peroxides, acidity and soaps have shown excellent photometric linearity of the instrument and the results are comparable to those of the tests carried out in parallel using ISO for number of peroxides and acidity and using NGD method for soaps”.

The determination of acidity and peroxides value are in compliance with the analytical standards as per regulation (EEC) no. 2568/91 and subsequent modifications
