    Abstract: Some embodiments are related to a portable or stationary system for determining the quality of processed food product. The system can be hand handled by a user, located on a production line or placed a laboratory. The system can include a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer and a controller. The controller can be configured to: receive an NMR spectrum of the processed food product from the NMR spectrometer, identify a first peak related to a first component of the processed food product from the received NMR spectrum and determine the quality of the processed food product based on the identification. The controller may further configured to control parameters of the production line based on the determined quality.

    Abstract: A method of incorporating the influence of diffusion into the CPMG-based T2 measurement for one or more of the following: water cut measurement; performing inline measurements of flow rate; density; and rheology of a flowing fluid. The method includes conducting a “standard T1/T2 experiment” at least twice by providing one scan without a field gradient during the CMPG echo train. Then, providing a second scan with the application of a gradient, where in the second experiment the measured T2 (T2app) is affected solely by water diffusion, thus shifting cross peaks which represent water on the first T1/T2 spectrum to lower T2 values on the second spectrum.

The system includes a flow conduit encompassed by a tunable RF coil and having an input duct and an output duct; a flow of the sample through the flow conduit; a signal detector that detects frequency-dependent output signals as a function of a frequency variation of the RF tunable coil within a frequency range of an RF resonant frequency of a standard sample of the substance; and a processing unit.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related a method for the liquefaction of high-solids biomass substrates. Particularly, biomass can be added to a reactor until a pressure drop, measured inline, reaches the maximum system limitations. A commercial enzyme mixture (specific for the particular type of biomass to be processed) may then be added to the biomass, forming a slurry. The pressure may be continuously monitored and when the pressure drop reaches a steady state (which can be determined by little or no change in pressure drop for several minutes), more biomass may then be added until the high pressure limit of the pump system is reached again. The method can be repeated until the desired quantity of biomass is processed.
