Stanovení vlhkosti bylo porovnáno s normou ISO 18134, stanovení obsahu popela s normou ISO 18122 a stanovení těkavých látek s normou ISO 18123. Tyto normy stanovují přesné teplotní podmínky a analytické postupy, současně však umožňují využití automatizovaných systémů, pokud je prokázáno, že poskytují srovnatelné výsledkyDo porovnání byla zahrnuta široká škála materiálů, včetně dřevních pelet, rašeliny, uhlí, plastů a paliv z odpadů. Výsledky stanovení vlhkosti i obsahu popela získané systémem TGA801 vykázaly velmi vysokou shodu s referenčními metodami podle norem ISO. Tyto výsledky potvrzují, že automatizovaná termogravimetrická analýza poskytuje stejnou spolehlivost jako konvenční postupy, přičemž výrazně zvyšuje produktivitu laboratoře a snižuje nároky na manuální práci.<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/LECO_Advancing_Biofuel_Characterization_with_LECO_Analytical_Instrumentation_2_3887128788.jpg" alt="LECO: Pokročilá charakterizace biopaliv pomocí analytických přístrojů LECO: Kelímky používané při manuálním stanovení obsahu těkavých látek podle normy ISO 18123." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_LECO_Advancing_Biofuel_Characterization_with_LECO_Analytical_Instrumentation_2_3887128788.jpg 172w," sizes="100vw" width="1264" height="1145"><h3>Korelace výsledků stanovení těkavých látek</h3>Při stanovení obsahu těkavých látek vycházejí jak metody podle norem ISO, tak metoda TGA z měření úbytku hmotnosti během stanovené doby při teplotě 900 °C. Metoda TGA však navíc zahrnuje ohřev z teploty používané při stanovení vlhkosti (přibližně 105 °C) na teplotu stanovení těkavých látek. Přestože se tedy postupy v tomto ohledu liší, dosažené výsledky vykázaly vynikající shodu.Testování provedené na dřevních peletách prokázalo silnou lineární závislost mezi výsledky získanými metodou podle normy ISO a metodou TGA s hodnotou koeficientu determinace R² přibližně 0,94.

Food fortification has moved from a public health aspiration to a regulatory reality in India. FSSAI's fortification standards now cover key staples, and the +F logo that consumers recognise comes with specific analytical requirements that food businesses must meet.Consider rice fortification. Adding iron, folic acid, and Vitamin B12 to rice kernels is one thing. Verifying that those nutrients are present at the right levels in the finished product requires rigorous analytical testing using techniques like ICP-MS for mineral quantification and LC/MS for fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. Without that data, a fortification claim is just a label.Milk fortification tells a similar story. Vitamin A and Vitamin D are routinely added to milk across India, but confirming their stability and concentration through the supply chain requires HPLC-based methods that can detect these micronutrients accurately even in complex dairy matrices. This webinar brings together regulatory and scientific perspectives to give food professionals a clear picture of where India's fortification programme stands today, what the analytical standards demand, and where the industry needs to sharpen its approach.<h4>Key Learning Outcomes:</h4><ul><li>Understand the current FSSAI regulatory framework for food fortification in India, including recent updates to standards across staple categories</li><li>Learn about the analytical methods used to measure vitamins and minerals in fortified foods, including LC/MS, HPLC, and ICP-MS, and the challenges specific to different food matrices</li><li>Get clarity on what FSSAI's +F endorsement requirements mean for testing and documentation</li><li>Identify common gaps in fortification testing programmes and how to address them</li><li>Understand what regulators expect when manufacturers make fortification claims on labels</li></ul><h4>Who Should Attend:&nbsp;</h4>This webinar is for professionals in the Indian food industry involved in food safety, quality, or product development, specifically:QA and QC managers responsible for fortified food categories, R&amp;D scientists working on product formulation and fortification, regulatory affairs professionals managing FSSAI compliance, lab heads and analytical chemists working on food testing, food safety officers in manufacturing facilities, procurement and technical teams working with fortification premix suppliers.<blockquote>Presenter: Dr. Dinesh Kumar Singh (Assistant Professor, Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, NIFTEM-K, India)</blockquote><blockquote>Presenter:&nbsp;Dr. Vikrant Goel (Application Scientist, Agilent Technologies India Pvt.
