Snack Food
Whether your products are baked, extruded or deep-fried, we have the analytical solutions to help you save cost and improve quality. Our solutions provide rapid analysis of key properties of ingredients, mixes, doughs and baked goods. Our testing kits and instruments can guard against taking in sprouted or mycotoxin infected grain, segregate for protein, and monitor tempering. Our on-line systems provide instantaneous moisture, protein, and ash results allowing real-time optimization. Test final products for rheological properties such as water absorption, mixing time, mixing tolerance and other properties such moisture, protein, ash, and starch pasting. All of this testing ensures consistent, safe, and high quality products for consumers.
