Examples of measurements that Sagitto customers are making include: • beta-triketone concentrations in Manuka essential oil • kavalactones in kava powder • THCA and CBDA in cannabis extracts • alpha acid composition of different hop varieties • the composition of plastic objects • the fibre composition of fabrics • the ripeness of green vanilla beans • moisture percentage of cured vanilla beans • percentage ethanol in vanilla extract • fat, protein and moisture levels in meat and bone meal • oil concentration in seed crops • taste characteristics of food powders • moisture levels in honey • polygodial concentrations in plant extracts ... the list just goes on and on.
