Benchtop NMR applications in Food Science, Dr. Giacomo Di Matteo Department of Chemistry and Technology of Drugs, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome


Until now, the common NMR producing companies trend was to build up the NMR magnetic field and consequently the NMR sensitivity, chemical-shift dispersion and performance. Nowadays, this tendency seems to be reversed with the diffusion of a number of Benchtop NMR instrument from several companies. Benchtop NMR represent a fast spectroscopic analysis method, with an easily sample preparation and a short analysis time. Its application is widespread in several fields, in which the food production is one of the main. Benchtop NMR doesn’t need deuterated solvents, has low maintenance costs thanks to a permanent magnet, and is easy to use. Its application in food science is principally linked with its direct industrial application as on-line processing tool. In this logic of NMR application in the industry, Benchtop NMR is the future of NMR in food science and its opportunity to became part of many industrial processes.
