Oil, Moisture & Protein Measurement - Free Webinar
What if we could monitor the oil content in seeds, on dry-matter basis, as soon as the truck arrives at the receiving dock, and we can determine the price to pay with confidence? You could avoid paying for moisture, and your supplier gets a fair price. What if we could monitor how efficiently your oil extraction process working by monitoring the oil and moisture content in seeds cakes, during extraction, in just few ... Continue reading

Food Structural Assessment by Magnetic Resonance
Within the domain of food structure one seeks to unravel the structural organisation and dynamics of components in food stuffs. This represents a challenge due to the large range of distance and time scales that are involved. A relatively simple example is given in Figure 1A where the different (length) scales of structural organisation in cereals are represented. The starch in cereal kernels such as wheat and rice, for example, is organized in starch granules which contain ... Continue reading

An Omics Approach to Food Science
For two years now the existence of a new science has been acknowledged - namely Food-omics, a science that is helping define particular foodstuff from a broader point of view. It is not enough anymore to know the composition of macro nutrients nor to go through the details of just a few components. In order to study the production of new foodstuffs, by focusing on its healthy properties or characterize existing foods from a similar perspective, ... Continue reading

Food Irradiation Control Using EPR
Worldwide, it is estimated that more than 500,000 tons of food and dietary supplements are treated with radiation with spices and vegetable seasonings making up the majority. Though this amount is small compared to the amount of food produced both the current standards for consumer protection and the need for a traceable and transparent food production chain demand a proper food control strategy. National authorities are responsible for issuing a clearance list ... Continue reading
