在冲泡和过滤过程中，不同的制备方法（如浓缩咖啡机、过滤咖啡或 AeroPress）需要不同研磨度的咖啡粉，以获得芳香效果。将烘焙好的咖啡豆磨成粉末时，粒度分布的测定起着决定性的作用，因为它对咖啡的冲泡和过滤性能有重大影响，从而影响到咖啡的口感和香味。双相机系统（如 CAMSIZER X2）提供的测量范围可在一次分析中捕捉咖啡粉的广泛粒度分布。同时使用具有不同再现比例的两台相机（CCD 变焦和 CCD 基础）可确保正确测量细粒和粗粒。
Samples from “Arabica” and “Robusta” were milled with an ultra-centrifugal Mill ZM300
Nitrogen Analysis: High content of nitrogen in beans can lead to a fuller taste.
Determination of moisture content ensure optimum shelf life
Coffee correct Ashing with AAF prevent to retain unwanted components as heavy metals.
Density and porosity make possible to map coffee's physicochemical development during roasting, investigate the fundamentals of extraction
The production of chocolate is complex and relies heavily on quality control of raw materials. The process includes harvesting, fermentation, drying, cleaning, roasting, pre-grinding, and grinding cocoa nibs to extract cocoa powder and butter. Quality control involves testing for contaminants and optimizing grinding conditions. The RM 200 mortar grinder is effective for laboratory-scale quality control, producing fine cocoa mass for further analysis. RM 200 is suitable for both dry and wet grinding and can handle soft, hard, brittle, pasty, dry, and wet materials with an input size of less than 8 mm and a final fineness of less than 10 μm, depending on the sample and instrument configuration.
巧克力的生产过程包括几个关键步骤：发酵和烘干可可豆，烘焙、分离和研磨可可果仁，以及生产巧克力液。然后将巧克力液加工成可可粉或巧克力。其中一个关键步骤是精炼，通过减小颗粒大小来形成巧克力的最终风味。可可和巧克力颗粒的测量使用各种仪器，其中激光衍射法是最常用的方法。
Method validation in food science is crucial for ensuring result quality and analytical reliability. Automated protein and thermogravimetric methods were validated following international guidelines, involving common food groups like meat, dairy, and grains. Three accurate, cost-effective methods with good recoveries and z-scores were developed. Protein determination in less than 5 minutes and moisture and ash analysis using a single sample. All this is possible with Eltra with our TGA Thermostep and our CNr.
Grinding fatty substances such as cheese presents unique challenges due to their high fat content and sticky consistency. The fat in cheese can cause it to clump together, making it difficult to achieve a uniform particle size. Specialized equipment, like the Knife Mill GRINDOMIX GM 200, is often necessary to effectively homogenize cheese samples, ensuring consistent and reliable results.
Milk powder is a widely used ingredient in the food industry, valued for its long shelf life and ease of transportation. Ensuring the quality and consistency of milk powder is crucial, and one of the key factors in this process is the analysis of particle size and shape. The CAMSIZER, a dynamic image analysis system by Microtrac, provides detailed and accurate measurements of particle size and shape. Read or application note for this determination:
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is a valuable technique for analyzing the thermal properties of dairy products such as milk and cheese. In milk, TGA can be used to determine the moisture content, fat content, and the presence of other volatile compounds. By analyzing the weight loss at different temperature ranges, it is possible to identify and quantify these components accurately. For cheese, TGA helps in understanding the thermal decomposition behavior, including the loss of moisture, fat, and protein content. The ELTRA TGA Thermostep is a powerful thermogravimetric analyzer that enhances this process. It can simultaneously analyze up to 19 samples with weights up to 5 grams and operate at temperatures up to 1000°C.
Many scientific articles consider the ashing content in meat is an important indicator of mineral composition and overall quality. Ash refers to the inorganic residue remaining after the complete combustion of organic matter in meat. It includes essential minerals like calcium, potassium, and magnesium, which are vital for various bodily functions. Monitoring the ash content helps ensure that meat products meet nutritional standards and are safe for consumption. It also provides insights into the meat’s purity and the presence of any contaminants.
In cryogenic grinding with mixer mills, the sample and grinding balls are placed in a jar, which is then cooled in an LN2 bath. This process embrittles the sample, making it easier to grind without generating heat that could affect the sample’s properties. Mills like MM 400, MM 500, ZM 300 or either SM300 are commonly used for this purpose. They can handle various materials, but it’s crucial to use jars made of compatible materials like steel or PTFE to avoid damage at extreme temperature.
Accurate protein determination in meat is crucial for meeting labeling requirements and ensuring consumer trust. The ELEMENTRAC CN-r from ELTRA provides a reliable and efficient solution for this purpose. Using the Dumas method, the ELEMENTRAC CN-r measures nitrogen content, which is then converted to protein content. This method is faster and safer than traditional techniques, offering precise results in less than three minutes.
The particle shape and size of ingredients significantly impact the quality of sausages and meatballs. Uniform particle size ensures a consistent texture, enhancing the mouthfeel of the final product. Smaller particles improve also the binding properties of the meat mixture, resulting in better cohesion and structural integrity of sausages and meatballs. By controlling particle shape and size, manufacturers can produce high-quality sausages and meatballs with desirable texture, taste, and consistency.
