I´m having some problems using smartrac for fat quantification.
The main problem is with low fat meats, the results comparing the traditional method and the smartrac are quite differents, however the QC results (around 14% of fat) seem perfectly fine. Any reason? Have somebody found the same problem?
Hi Lara,
You should check the calibration range of the NMR in the Smart Trac, maybe it is not calibrated for really low fat content. You can also check the paper from the AOAC using smart trac and comparing it with the "normal" procedure, but they don't go below 3.7% fat.
