Juice-Profiling (NMR)

From a single data set acquired within minutes, the NMR Juice-Profiling method simultaneously evaluates a multitude of quality and authenticity parameters for each fruit juice.
Database expansion 
by a factor of 3, featuring now more than 49,000 reference juice samples from all over the world
Robust Quantitative Analysis
Simultaneous and robust quantification of all IFU-relevant parameters. Addition of formol number quantification with NMR.
Time saving
Simultaneous and automated analysis of many quantitative and statistical parameters with a single, very fast sample preparation.
Many new fruit type and country models
27 fruit type models and 43 country-of-origin models are now available !

Juice Profiling™ is an NMR-based screening method for fruit and vegetable juices which has been developed in a joint effort by Bruker BioSpin GmbH and SGF International e.V.

The Juice-Profiling method has undergone a significant upgrade with the new version 4.0.

For each juice a multitude of parameters related to quality and authenticity is evaluated simultaneously from a single data set acquired within a few minutes.

Traditional Juice Authenticity and Quality Control Analysis is time-consuming and involves various analytical instruments and methods. However, the NMR Juice-Profiling method streamlines this process. 

The updated NMR Juice-Profiling 4.0 method helps to save considerable time and cost by replacing many conventional methods within one single analysis.

It allows robust and simultaneous quantitative analysis of the parameters pertaining to authenticity.

Additionally, it provides valuable authenticity insights and confirmation thanks to the statistical evaluation of the NMR profiles and the comprehensive database of nearly 50000 reference samples.

Juice Profiling 4.0 boasts a routine, straightforward workflow, automatically analyzing over 60 samples in one run, with minimal sample preparation and without the use of toxic solvents.

Versatile and cost-effective, this method discerns the authenticity of both fruit and vegetable juices, in a comprehensive and unique way.



Example: Quantification of the constituents of a pineapple juice
