❓ What is FAME? 
a) The title of a song released in 1975 by David Bowie
b) A 1980 musical drama about a bunch of kids at New York’s High School for the Performing Arts
c) Fatty acid methyl esters
d) Widespread reputation, especially of a favorable character; renown; public eminence 
e) All of the above

💡 If you answered “e” (All of the above), you are correct. However, if you asked AmSpec’s experts, “c” (Fatty acid methyl esters) would be the best answer as it pertains to FAME analysis.

🔬 FAME is no longer isolated to biodiesel—refineries must now account for it across jet fuel, diesel, and even fuel oil operations. Whether for compliance, product integrity, or operational troubleshooting, FAME testing has become a routine but essential part of quality control in the petroleum industry. Understanding which method to use, what detection limits are meaningful, and how to interpret results in context is key to ensuring reliable data for decision-making.

✍ Feeling a bit perplexed? No worries at all! Check out our latest article detailing how FAME testing has become a crucial component of quality control in the energy industry: https://lnkd.in/gJWrbfAw.

👉 At AmSpec, we’re always here to help! We offer several FAME testing methods in our state-of-the-art laboratories worldwide. Ask our experts about the possibilities!

📣 AmSpec Group is excited to announce that our laboratory in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, now offers Crude Assay testing!

🔬 We have successfully installed the advanced PETRODIST 100S and PETRODIST 200S petroleum distillation systems at our Rio laboratory. With this cutting-edge technology and our experienced, knowledgeable personnel, AmSpec Brazil is fully equipped to provide crude assay services. Our tests are conducted in accordance with ASTM D2892 and ASTM D5236, as well as recognized industry standards for testing oil fractions.

👉 A crude assay is a comprehensive analysis of the physical and chemical properties of crude oil, including the boiling range fractions from the oil distillation process. This important information helps refiners and traders make informed decisions regarding crude oil and crude oil blends, ultimately optimizing both profits and the refining process.

💡 In Brazil, the boiling range fractions generated from crude assay testing are mandatory for oil custody transfers, as outlined in Resolution ANP/Inmetro 1/2013. Furthermore, RANP 874/2022 establishes pricing criteria for oil based on crude assay results.

📩 Contact our local team today at RJ.OGC@amspecgroup.com to schedule your next crude assay. We look forward to helping your business grow!

🧪 June 7 is recognized as World Food Safety Day. 
Each year, unsafe food causes over 600 million cases of foodborne illness globally. That’s almost 1 in 10 people falling ill from what they eat. These risks are not only a public health concern — they’re a barrier to sustainable development, food security, and global trade.

This year’s theme, “Food Safety: Science in Action,” shines a spotlight on the scientific expertise that powers prevention:
🔬 Testing for microbiological, chemical, and physical contaminants
📊 Monitoring supply chains for traceability and transparency
🧪 Validating safety through lab analysis and field inspections
📉 Reducing risk before it reaches consumers or causes market disruption

🗣 What does food safety mean to us?
Hear directly from AmSpec’s Food Safety & Authenticity Services Manager, Dr Imran Khan , as he shares his thoughts on food safety, food security, and the role science plays in global supply chains.

📢 This World Food Safety Day, we call on the industry, regulators, and consumers alike to recognize that safe food doesn’t happen by chance — it happens by design, through science, and with shared responsibility.

Read a blog post on our website to find out more about AmSpec’s contribution to food safety:

☝ If you suspect that your Used Cooking Oil (UCO) may be contaminated with Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL), AmSpec has developed a new testing method that can quickly scan UCO for the presence of CNSL and other contaminants.

💡 CNSL is a dark brown viscous oil extracted from the shells of cashew nuts. It is not naturally found in cooking oil and may be present due to intentional blending with UCO. CNSL can pose risks to HEFA plants due to stronger acidity, catalyst poisoning, and compromising end-product quality and yield.

🔬 CNSL determination is usually done by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry, a high-end analytical instrument that may take a few days to complete and incur high analysis costs. AmSpec has developed a method to quickly scan CNSL in UCO, which takes a few hours to complete and only costs a fraction of the GC-MS analysis.

👉 In celebration of Singapore's 60th National Day, we are offering a special promotion: a 60% discount on our CNSL testing services until August 31, 2025.

📩 For more information and to secure this low rate, please reach out to our operations team via email at Singapore.Renewableops@amspecgroup.com.

🌱 Mangroves: Nature’s Silent Climate Heroes 🌊

Did you know that mangrove forests store up to 4x more carbon than tropical rainforests?

This International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem, AmSpec reaffirms our commitment to safeguarding blue carbon ecosystems — powerful natural allies in the fight against climate change.

Earlier this year, we shared insights into blue carbon — carbon captured by oceanic and coastal ecosystems, such as mangroves, seagrass, and salt marshes. These ecosystems don’t just protect coastlines and support biodiversity — they are essential carbon sinks that help regulate our planet's climate.

🌍 As a TIC company, AmSpec actively supports sustainable supply chains and initiatives that promote environmental stewardship — on land and at sea. Let’s protect the ecosystems that protect us.
