ADVANCED ANALYTICAL SOLUTIONS FOR PROTEIN AND FAT DETERMINATION IN FISHMEAL SAMPLES

Due to the high content of protein and the nutritive value of lipids and other constituents, fishmeal represents a superior aqua-feed and pet-food ingredient.

Discover how VELP’s analytical instruments can help you in the determination of these fundamental parameters.

Fishmeal is a coarse brown flour and it is obtained by cooking, pressing, drying and milling fresh raw fish or fish trimmings. There are several types of fish meal depending on the source of fish or fishery by-products used and on the processing technology involved. Fishmeal is an excellent source of highly digestible protein, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids and essential vitamins and minerals.

In order to assess its properties, protein and fat content parameters have been measured for this type of sample.

The performance of VELP instruments has been evaluated by participating in the proficiency testing program organized by BIPEA. Samples were analyzed using VELP solutions and the obtained results were compared with the BIPEA tolerance range.
