NMR Oil Content Analyzer

Measuring the oil content of seeds is important for two reasons: firstly, for non-destructive measurement of single seeds, to select high oil content specimens for propagation, secondly, for bulk measurement of oil content for trading or processing.

What is NMR is used for?

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry (NMR), is used for determining oil, protein and moisture content in seeds of various oil crops. The instrument is calibrated for several oil crops including soybean, camelina, canola, meadowfoam, and euphorbia, and can be calibrated for other species as needed. Tests can be performed in whole seeds or meals.

The need for NMR

With the diversification of crops in Oregon and the search for crops to be used for biodiesel production, the need to determine the oil content of such crops has emerged. In addition, the meal in some oil seeds such as soybean is used for feed after extracting the oil and it is useful to determine the protein content in the meal as well as in the seeds. Both the USDA and Canadian Grain Commission use NMR analyzer in determining oil seed content in oil crops.
In the past, researchers have had to send their oil seeds out of the state for oil and protein analysis. The Niumag’s recent acquisition of a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer means this service is now available in-state. This provides an advantage to Northwest researchers and commercial producers both in testing turnaround and in the availability of the equipment and service for conducting customized research.

The principle of the test

The oil content test estimates the amount of oil that can be extracted from seeds using an industrial extraction method. Direct pressing extracts 90-92%, whereas solvent extraction remove 97-99% of oils contained in seeds.
The benchtop NMR technique measures the resonance energy absorbed by hydrogen atoms in the sample. Usually oil contents are expressed based on a specific moisture basis (e.g., 8.5%, 10%, etc.).

Sample size and test period

Sample size is 5-10 grams for all analyses (not for each test), i.e., for oil, protein and moisture. We can calibrate the NMR for a smaller amount of seeds (i.e., 1-2 grams), if needed. It takes 24 hours to complete the test from the time of receiving the sample. The NMR is a non-destructive method, so seeds can be returned if needed. Please enclose the sample in a moisture-proof bag.

Why Only Two Relaxation Times

The relaxation times T1 and T2 were described phenomenologically by Felix Bloch at al representing changes in the net magnetization (M) after RF-stimulation. T1 reflects changes along the direction (z-) of the main magnetic field; T2 reflects transverse (xy-) behavior. There are only two relaxation times because the directions “longitudinal” and “transverse” seem to encompass the cardinal directions in three-dimensional space. The transverse (x- and y-) directions are generally arbitrary and indistinguishable so only a single T2 value is usually applied.
However, some tissues and materials have T2 anisotropy, meaning their observed T2 values differ depending on orientation, so I suppose you could say there are more than one transverse relaxation time for these substances, but they are still called T2’s.
Additionally, in the rotating frame another type of relaxation time is frequency distinguished, T1ρ (“T1-rho”). This relaxation time is somewhat of a hybrid between T1 and T2 that can be measured in when a spin-locking pulse is applied to a system. See our paper from 1996 for further explanation:
Ulmer JL, Mathews VP, Hamilton CA, Elster AD, Moran PR. Magnetization transfer or spin-lock? An investigation of off-resonance saturation pulse imaging with varying frequency offsets. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol 1996.
I have never heard of the “duality” explanation above; it is not correct at all and should be abandoned/discouraged.

T1 and T2 effects

To the right are images of a brain tumor with intrinsically long T1 and T2 values having opposite intensities on T1- and T2-weighted images. To understand this “paradox”, you must realize that a pixel’s “brightness” or “darkness” on an MR image is directly related to the magnitude of the detected MR signal. The magnitude of the MR signal after an RF-pulse is in turn, dependent on two factors:

1. The size of Mz, the z-component of tissue magnetization (M) before the RF-pulse.
2. The size of Mxy, the transverse components of M after the RF-pulse (when the signal is recorded).

T1 reflects the length of time it takes for regrowth of Mz back toward its initial maximum value (Mo). Tissues with short T1’s recover more quickly than those with long T1’s. Their Mz values are larger, producing a stronger signal and brighter spot on the MR image.

T2 reflects the length of time it takes for the MR signal to decay in the transverse plane. A short T2 means that the signal decays very rapidly. So substances with short T2’s have smaller signals and appear darker than substances with longer T2 values.

MiniEDU20 MRI system is Niumag’s original product, first used as an integral part of other products. After nearly 10 years of enhancements, its design and functionality are comprehensive and mature.

What is a Free Induction Decay?

In magnetic resonance, free induction decay (or FID) is the temporal profile of induction of sample placed in the magnetic field in the absence of external radio-frequency (in NMR or microwave frequency in EPR) irradiation after some irradiation has been applied and then interrupted.

Also, spectrocopists often refer to FID as a recording of the actual FID signal sampled in time. FID is almost never sampled directly as larmor precession frequecies of nuclear and electron are too high to be sampled that way.

Oscillations in the recorded FID’s occur at frequencies equal the difference between the larmor frequency and the radio- (or microwave) frequencies of the applied pulses.

In their famous NMR analyzer experiments of 1946, Bloch, Purcell, and colleagues employed a continuous wave (CW) technique using a fixed frequency RF field (B1) while the main magnetic field (Bo) was swept through resonance. They observed transient fluctuations in coil voltage referred to as “resonance absorption” by Purcell and the “nuclear induction signal” by Bloch.

Two years later, Bloembergen, Purcell, and Pound noted that immediately after the system had passed through resonance, small oscillations appeared on either side of the main absorption tracing that were named the “wiggles”.

About the same time, Erwin Hahn, a graduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana, was investigating pulsed NMR techniques. In pulsed methods the main magnetic field is held constant while an RF-field at the Larmor frequency is pulsed on and off. Immediately after the RF pulse Hahn observed a transient oscillation he recognized was equivalent to Bloembergen’s “wiggles”. Hahn called this signal the “nuclear induction decay” or “free induction,” which today is commonly referred to as the free induction decay (FID).
As described in a previous Q&A the nuclear induction signal arises as the net magnetization (M) vector precesses around the z-axis (the direction of Bo). The transverse components of M generate a current in the receiver coil based on the Faraday-Lenz Law of electromagnetism. The signal is a sine wave oscillating at the Larmor frequency (ωo).
Free induction decay (FID)
The NMR signal, however, does not persist forever. The initially coherent transverse components of M dephase as a result of both magnetic field inhomogeneities and intrinsic T2 mechanisms, incorporated in the concept of T2*-decay. The resulting signal is the FID, a damped sine wave of the following form

[sin ωot ] e-t/T2*

Although it is convenient to think about an FID arising from the action of a 90° pulse, an FID will be created by an RF pulse of any flip angle because some component of longitudinal magnetization is always tipped into the transverse plane. (The only theoretical exception to this rule might be a 180° pulse, which in principle should only invert the longitudinal magnetization and not generate any transverse components. In practice, however, all 180° pulses are imperfect, and therefore always produce FID signals.)

The FID is just one of four basic types of NMR signals produced in different ways.

PQ001 Spin Finish NMR Analyzer for Textile Fiber

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), as an effective non-destructive inspection analysis technology, has been widely used in many fields, such as biomedical, chemical industry, petroleum energy and materials science.
Since the first time the NMR signal was discovered in 1945, more than ten scientists have won the Nobel Prize because of their great contributions to NMR development. NMR is now one of the most advanced technologies in the world which have extensive development prospects.
About 25 years ago, NMR was first used to study molecular structure and dynamics of cross-linked polymers. Based on De Genne and Kimmich’s fundamental theoretical and experimental research, Gronski and others did further research on crosslink density and the network structure of rubber. All of their research proved the consistency of the results given by the NMR method and the traditional methods such as swelling and mechanical test method.
With the addition of commercial applications with NMR microscopy and the development of parameter-selection imaging and image analytical technique, both detailed spatial information of morphological structures and image analysis reflecting material properties as molecular dynamics, crosslink density, aging, swelling, etc., all these can be given by NMR. MicroMR-CL was developed for polymer studies. It has been widely used in a local domestic research institutes, and it has made excellent contributions to the polymer industry.

Rock Core NMR Analyzer

It is a well known fact that nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is commonly used in well logging measurements and for routine laboratory core analysis. However, many are not aware of the principle behind NMR and its advantages for the core analyst. It is commonly used to determine porosity and pore size distributions but it is important to note that NMR can also measure fluid mobility parameters such as bound volume irreducible (BVI), free fluid index (FFI), clay bound water (CBW) and effective porosity.
NMR can also easily and effectively measure permeability, capillary pressure, and oil/water and gas/water contents. These parameters are measured with high level of precision using comprehensive software, which is user-friendly and can be easily operated by a novice in NMR. The technical details given below are aimed at introducing NMR to the petrophysicist and core analyst who are not very familiar with NMR.
When a sample is placed in a magnetic field and activated with a quick pulse of radio frequency (RF), NMR signals are generated from liquids such as brine or oil. An NMR signal is formed instantaneously after the pulse, which then dies away with a characteristic decay rate or relaxation time known as T2. The signal amplitude immediately after the pulse indicates the total amount of fluid present. T2 of the signal provides important information about the physical environment of the liquids.
In pores filled with a single fluid, there are two key components to the NMR signal, one signal is generated from the fluid far from the pore walls and another close to the pore walls. The nature of NMR signals in fluids far from the pore walls is similar to those from bulk fluids having comparatively long relaxation times, whereas fluids close to the pore walls undergo a process of adsorption and desorption with the pore walls which has the effect of drastically reducing their NMR relaxation times.
In large pores, the dominant effect is from the bulk fluids, so larger pores have longer NMR relaxation times. In smaller pores, the surface-to-volume ratio is much higher, hence the fluids near the pore wall dominate the NMR signal, and smaller pores display overall shorter NMR relaxation times. This process is illustrated in the figures below.
Of course, practically it may not feasible to take NMR measurements from individual pores. The entire core must be measured at once, hence the resulting NMR signal is a composite of all the NMR signals from the different pore sizes in the core.

MRI Contrast Agents: From Molecules to Particles (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)

This book describes the multiple aspects of (i) preparation of the magnetic core, (ii) the stabilization with different coatings, (iii) the physico-chemical characterization and (iv) the vectorization to obtain specific nanosystems. Several bio-applications are also presented in this book. In the early days of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), paramagnetic ions were proposed as contrast agents to enhance the diagnostic quality of MR images. Since then, academic and industrial efforts have been devoted to the development of new and more efficient molecular, supramolecular and nanoparticular systems. Old concepts and theories, like paramagnetic relaxation, were revisited and exploited, leading to new scientific tracks. With their high relaxivity payload, the superparamagnetic nanoparticles are very appealing in the context of molecular imaging but challenges are still numerous: absence of toxicity, specificity, ability to cross the biological barriers, etc.

Dr. Sophie Laurent was born in 1967. Her studies were performed at the University of Mons-Hainaut (Belgium) where she received her PhD in Chemistry in 1993. She joined then Prof R.N. Muller’s team and was involved in the development (synthesis and physicochemical characterization) of paramagnetic Gd complexes and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles as contrast agents for MRI. She is currently working on the vectorization of contrast agents for molecular imaging. She is associate professor and co-author around 170 publications and more than 250 communications in international meetings.
Dr. Dimitri Stanicki did his graduate work at the University of Mons (Ph.D. degree in 2010), where he achieved the synthesis of organic compounds for the treatment of parasitic diseases. In 2011, he joined R. Muller’s research group (MRI) where he started to develop new nanosystems for molecular imaging applications. He is the co-author of approximatively 10 publications, including a patent and a chapter book in the field of superparamagnetic contrast agents.

Dr. Robert N. Muller, PhD in chemistry 1974 from the University of Mons-Hainaut where he was successively appointed Assistant, Lecturer and full Professor. Post-doctoral studies in Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Paul C. Lauterbur’s (2003 Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology) research group (MRI) at the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1981-82 and sabbatical leave at the Center for Magnetic Resonance (CERM), Florence, Italy, in 2002-2003.

Emerging Technologies for Food Quality and Food Safety Evaluation

Even though the perception of food quality may depend on its hedonic and often subjective attributes, it is essential to quantitatively evaluate its quality and safety. Fortunately, the advent of sophisticated systems, including nondestructive testing techniques, has made it possible to definitively evaluate food quality. Reflecting these advances, Emerging Technologies for Food Quality and Food Safety Evaluation examines leading-edge technologies for on-line and off-line (lab) monitoring of food quality and safety.
The book reviews the scope of food quality parameters such as color, texture, chemical compositions, and flavor. Each chapter describes a specific system for quality parameters, its principles, and its applications to foods. Coverage includes artificial intelligence systems for sensory evaluation, as well as computer vision; NIR, NMR analyzer and affordable MRI system; sonic and ultrasonic systems; multi-spectral and hyper-spectral imaging systems; and electronic nose. The book also explores new tools for laboratory analysis and on-site industrial use such as biosensors used for the biochemical evaluation of food and nanotechnology used for the enhancement of sensitivity and detection limit in measurement systems for food quality and safety.
Foods are characterized by the presence of a complex matrix. It is therefore not easy to quantitatively measure the factors associated with the quality and safety of products. With its overview of the latest technologies and introduction of sophisticated technologies, this book clarifies how technologies from other disciplines can be developed into new approaches to food quality evaluation.
