We present the important study “Beer-brewing powered by controlled hydrodynamic cavitation: Theory and real-scale experiments” done by the Institute of Biometeorology of National Research Council (CNR) in Florence, Italy. The chemical analysis for the quality control in brewing process, involved in the study, has be done with CDR BeerLab^®, by the CNR researchers.

At the conference ISA 2016 organized by the University of Bari, University of Basilicata and Società Chimica Italiana (Italian Chemical Society) prof. Massimo Innocenti, Department of Chemistry, University of Florence held the presentation “Spectroscopic Analysis of eco-foods”, in collaboration with researchers from the chemical CDR laboratories. Application Example evaluated in the presentation is the range of the CDR FoodLab^® analysis systems that specialize and optimize the use of photometric technology in terms of cost, the amount of reagent used and analysis time.

OxiTester, the analytical system for vegetable oils and fats, was used during the study entitled “Qualitative Changes of Olive Oils Obtained from Fruits Damaged by Bactrocera oleae (Rossi)”, performed by Riccardo Gucci, Giovanni Caruso, Angelo Canale, Augusto Loni, and Alfio Raspi Department Coltivazione e Difesa delle Specie Legnose ‘‘G. Scaramuzzi,’’ University of Pisa, 56124 Pisa, Italy Stefania Urbani, Agnese Taticchi, Sonia Esposto, and Maurizio Servili Department Scienze Economico-Estimative e degli Alimenti, University of Perugia, 06126 Perugia, Italy.

the analytical system for oils and fats was used during the study entitled “Analyses of the oxidative stability of deep-frying oils, carried out by the University of Hamburg and presented at the 6th edition of the Euro Fed Lipid Congress

In the study published in the Journal of AOAC International, the CDR OxiTester photometric method for the determination of the amount of polyphenols/stability index of oil was validated and compared with the Rancimat method.
