Since seeds are pressed to extract the oil, the price of seeds depends on their oil content and thereby farmers are paid accordingly. Therefore, oil mills and analytical laboratories evaluate large amounts of samples every day, especially during the harvest season. Moisture content is controlled to ensure good storage. Additionally moisture has to be carefully and accurately controlled before pressing because it influences the shelf life of the oil. At the same time, Bruker’s minispec Seed Analyzers offer fast, accurate and non-destructive simultaneous determination of oil and moisture contents.

For seed breading and crop selection, Bruker’s minispec also allows for single seed analysis with excellent sensitivity.

Bulk analysis Time-Domain-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance methods for oil seeds and residues are recognized as International standard methods according to:

  • ISO 10565
  • ISO 10632 for Residues
  • AOCS Ak 4–95
  • USDA GIPSA Approved
