Determination of Nitrogen/Protein in Meat and Plant-Based Meat Alternatives

<p>The LECO FP828 Nitrogen/Protein Determinator provides rapid and precise protein analysis in meat and plant-based products. Using automated combustion (Dumas method) in a vertical quartz furnace, moisture removal, and thermal conductivity detection, the FP828 eliminates hazardous chemicals and extensive sample preparation required by classical Kjeldahl methods. The instrument supports Helium or Argon carrier gases and offers selectable 3 cm or 10 cm aliquot dose loops, optimizing sensitivity, precision, reagent life, and cost-per-analysis, making it ideal for quality control in food production.</p>
