High-speed Organic Acid Analysis Column: Shim-pack Fast-OA
Quick and easy monitoring of culture or fermentation processes
In the fields of fermented food production and bio-industry, organic acid metabolites are monitored to control the activity of yeast or bacteria. The quantity of organic acids needs to be checked and the production environment adjusted accordingly in order to improve production and quality control, and these checks must be carried out in a timely manner. The Shim-pack Fast-OA is a column for the high-speed analysis of organic acids. It can separate multiple organic acids in a short time and supports real-time monitoring of their concentration levels.

Analysis of Tea Beverages Using Catechin Analysis Kit
The catechin analysis kit, developed in collaboration with the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO), provides validated test methods for catechins in tea leaves and green tea drinks from sample pre-treatment to HPLC measurement. You can accurately quantitate the content of 11 catechins (including methylated catechins) and caffeine in tea leaves. This article summarizes the results of the catechins quantitation in several beverages: green tea, black tea, and oolong tea.
