Responsible for planning, executing and reporting routine and non-routine chemical analyses of food and food supplements to internal customers in a research-oriented environment. The main focus of analysis was to qualify and quantify the product. For example, an emulsifier was added to an end product. Analyses on the end product had to confirm the quantity of the emulsifiers used. These emulsifiers were mostly organic acids and as end products meat, fish, candies, etc. Sample… Show more Responsible for planning, executing and reporting routine and non-routine chemical analyses of food and food supplements to internal customers in a research-oriented environment.

Analyses on the end product had to confirm the quantity of the emulsifiers used. These emulsifiers were mostly organic acids and as end products meat, fish, candies, etc. Sample pre-treatment and correct dilutions were key factors in analyses. Analytical Instruments: HPLC, IC, titration, Karl Fischer, Halogen Balance, PSD, DSC, DVS, Dissolution, AAS, spectrometry, pH. Show less

Responsible for testing developed software for fully automated analytical process instruments. These include: titration, IC and NIR. Responsible for application requests from global customers and sales department with regards to NIR-applications.

Kerry Zwijndrecht produces plant-based emulsifiers for food and non-food markets. I was responsible for day-to-day QC-work in an ISO 17025 certified laboratory. This includes planning and execution of routine analyses, ordering lab disposables and investigation of customer complaints. Responsible for the calibration of all analytical instruments. Instruments were weekly checked with standards and control samples. A system clean-up was executed.

This includes planning and execution of routine analyses, ordering lab disposables and investigation of customer complaints. Responsible for the calibration of all analytical instruments. Instruments were weekly checked with standards and control samples. A system clean-up was executed. Instruments were yearly checked by the supplier. Non-conformities were investigated, solved and reported. (Instrumental) analyses: GC, HPLC, NIR and wet-chemical analysis. Responsible for development of online NIR-analysis: 3 factory lines were monitored by time consuming GC analyses. To improve, online NIR-models were created, using GC. For this, samples were taken on different times by different people on different parts of the production process. All were analysed on the NIR and GC. The benefits were: 1) Monitoring factory processes during night and weekend shifts. 2) Analyses executed by operators, instead of chemical analysts. 3) NIR-analysis saved 50 minutes per analysis Show less
