CEM Corporation is excited to have recently accepted a 2017 IFT Innovation Award for the release of the revolutionary ORACLE Universal Fat Analyzer. The ORACLE is the first and only system that is able to accurately test the fat content of any food prod- uct in 30 seconds with no method development, calibra- tion or sample validation necessary. As one of the most expensive ingredients, and a large contributor to the quality and mouthfeel many con- sumers base their purchases on, food manufacturers have always required a fast and accurate fat analysis.
