Benchtop NMR for Food and Cosmetic Applications: Optimize Formulations and Detect Adulterations
In this white paper, the authors demonstrate that benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an invaluable and versatile tool for the precise, non-destructive, and non-targeted analysis of mixtures, offering a reliable means of material analysis. Ensuring the purity and authenticity of these compounds is critical for consumer safety and maintaining the economic value of these products, as any adulteration can undermine their market value and consumer trust. NMR can identify both the presence of adulterants and variations in chemical composition, making it an essential technique for quality control, product development, and regulatory testing.
