Technology Available

Our technological capabilities are at the forefront of the industry.

Refractometer

A Refractometer is a key analytical instrument used to measure the refractive index of essential oils, an important physicochemical parameter for identification and purity assessment. 

Polarimeter 

The Polarimeter used to measure the optical rotation of plane-polarized light by chiral compounds in essential oils, providing key information on purity, authenticity, and composition.  

Densimeter 

The Densimeter is essential for determining the density of essential oils.  

UV–Visible spectrophotometer

The UV–Visible spectrophotometer is used to quantitatively measure light absorbance or transmittance, providing objective evaluation of color intensity and stability.  

Colorimeter 

The Colorimeter provides a rapid, non-destructive, and objective measurement of color characteristics, expressed in color LAB (L*, a*, b*). Samples are measured in controlled lighting and temperature conditions, with replicate readings ensuring accuracy.  

GC-FID (Gas Chromatography–Flame Ionization Detection)

GC-FID (Gas Chromatography–Flame Ionization Detection) is a precise and reproducible method for quantifying volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds in essential oils.  

Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) 

Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is an advanced analytical technique used for the separation, identification, and quantification of non-volatile, thermally labile, and polar compounds. It offers high sensitivity, specificity, and structural confirmation, making it suitable for comprehensive profiling, quality control compound analysis in essential oils. 

GC-MS TQ (Gas Chromatography coupled with Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry) 

GC-MS TQ (Gas Chromatography coupled with Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry) is a powerful analytical technique used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of volatile and semi-volatile compounds. It allows precise identification and trace-level quantification of essential oil constituents. 

Refractometer

Used to determine Brix degree of fruit juices. 

Automatic Titrator

Allows to determine the acidity of fruit juices by acid-base titration and measurement of pH. 

Spectrophotometer

Used to analyze by measuring absorbance in ultraviolet and visible range, allows the determination of color, turbidity and characteristic compounds of fruit juices. 

HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography with Photodiode array, Fluorescence and Differential refractive index detectors)

Used to determine accurately compounds of products, through separation and subsequent identification with the use of specific detectors. 

Centrifuge

For the determination of pulp content 

Flame Photomether

To determine alcali and alcaline heart metals measuring atomic flame emissions at specific wavelength. 

Distillation Apparatus / Burette

For the separation and subsequent determination of SO2 by titration. 

The above list represents only a selection of our available technologies. Agrumaria continuously invests in and updates our technological capabilities to stay at the forefront of industry advancements.
