Patent

CA 2198145

Systems and methods for material analysis are disclosed in which an organic sample (e.g., a foodstuff, tissue sample or petroleum product) is illuminated at a plurality of discrete wavelengths which are absorbed by fatty acid and fatty acid oxidation products in the sample. Measurements of the intensity of reflected or absorbed light at such wavelenghts are taken, and an analysis of absorbance ratios for various wavelengths is performed. Changes in the reflection ratios are correlated with the oxidative state of fatty acids present in the material.

L'invention se rapporte à des systèmes et à des procédés d'analyse de matières dans un échantillon organique (tel qu'une denrée alimentaire, un échantillon tissulaire ou un produit pétrolier). Cet échantillon est éclairé à une pluralité de longueurs d'ondes séparées qui sont absorbées par les acides gras ou par des produits d'oxydation d'acides gras contenus dans l'échantillon. On prend alors des mesures de l'intensité de la lumière réfléchie ou absorbée à ces longueurs d'ondes et on effectue une analyse des rapports d'absorbance pour les différentes longueurs d'onde. Puis, on met en corrélation les modifications intervenues dans les rapports de réflexion avec l'état d'oxydation des acides gras présents dans la matière.
