Analysis of flour with FT-NIR spectroscopy

Bruker offers solutions for the Flour & Milling industry for the analysis of wheat, various flour types as well as co-products based onFT-NIR Spectroscopy- from small, easy-to-use benchtop spectrometers to complete online monitoring systems.

Wheat intake: Know what you get
Wheat tempering: Maximize the yield
Flour quality: Monitor the final product

Ready to use calibration packages give you results in seconds and are a highly cost-effective solution compared to conventional testing methods.

Using handheld XRF for the analysis of flour

XRF is a fast, nondestructive technology for elemental analysis of macro-nutrients, micro-nutrients, and heavy metals.Bruker’s Elemental Analyzer portfolioincludes high-throughput lab-based ED-XRFand WD-XRF,point-and-shoothandheldXRF,micro-XRF, and ultra-trace analysisTXRFspectrometers.

Foreign bodies found in feed products need to be identified to be able to determine their source for taking corrective action.XRFandFT-IRquickly identify these small physical contaminant materials on the production floor or in the lab. Whereas XRF spectroscopy is ideal for metals, ceramics, stones and glass, the complementary FT-IR technology works best for plastics, rubbers, and other organic materials.

TD-NMRrelaxometry can be applied to determine the water mobility in bread and how it can be correlated to different performance (freshness/softness) of the final product. Protons inside a starch granule have a lower mobility and, therefore, lower relaxation times than protons outside the granule. The correlation between proton mobility on a molecular scale and the macroscopic textural properties of the final product, make TD-NMR a suitable technique to predict product quality.
