Determination of Nitrogen/Protein in Whey and Powdered Dairy Products

Accurate nitrogen and protein determination is critical for verifying the nutritional quality and market value of whey and powdered dairy products. This application note highlights how the LECO FP828 uses a vertical quartz furnace and pure oxygen environment to ensure complete combustion and superior analyte recovery. By switching to this rapid combustion method, laboratory managers can streamline dairy testing and guarantee high-precision results for complex food matrices.
