Bespoke Models
Spectroscopy is rapid and non-destructive and has applications off-, in-, at- and on-line. FT-IR and NIR spectroscopy are two common spectroscopic techniques used in food applications. They both have a wide range of uses in food including:
- Food Authentication eg testing for adulteration, substitution, addition
- Composition/ Proximate analysis eg quantifying protein, oil, moisture content
- Shelf life determination eg freshness of produce
- Quality Control (of raw materials / finished products) eg checking uniformity of batches
- Safety eg checking for foreign bodies
- Process control eg determine when optimal mixing level has been reached, determine when a process has completed.
- Traceability eg country of origin
In addition to developing our sector wide models we also offer a service where we develop bespoke models to meet individual customer needs, whether that be to authenticate products in their supply chain, supporting quality control of raw materials and/or finished products or indeed determine / ensure manufacturing processes are optimised / complete.
Please contact us if you are interested in discussing bespoke model development further.
Portable Testing
Coming Soon - Bia Analytical Ltd have recently signed a head of terms agreement to partner with trinamiX GmbH to develop a ground-breaking new solution that will offer customers a rapid portable authenticity result at the point of sampling, taking testing out of the lab and into the supply chain.
