Technology can be a great ally in quality processes in the food sector. For example, in moisture content analysis in snacks.<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In this case, we will discuss the Visum Palm portable analyzer for quality analysis in the food industry\u2014there are other applications for this analyzer, such as quality control in oils or cocoa analysis.<\/p>\n

Visum Palm will enable us<\/span>:<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Detection of contaminants or adulteration in raw materials<\/li>\n
  • Measurement through transparent packaging materials<\/li>\n
  • Measuring equipment for use at the production line<\/li>\n
  • Easy to use, with an intuitive user interface and touchscreen<\/li>\n
  • Immediate determination of quality parameters such as moisture, fat, salt, and protein, at an affordable price<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \"Modelo<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Traditional analytical methods require a significant amount of analysis time and expensive reagents, which increase the cost of the product quality assurance process.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n

        \n
      • At-line analysis of snack quality parameters using portable equipment enables rapid decision-making on the process, as well as real-time product quality control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Case study<\/span>
        <\/b><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Snack samples obtained during their drying process were analyzed using the VISUM PALM device. Based on the spectra acquired from the samples, a predictive chemometric model was developed to determine the moisture content of the analyzed samples. <\/li>\n
        • For moisture content analysis in snacks, this developed model successfully predicts the moisture content of the samples studied with an error of less than 1.5%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Conclusions<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

          \u201cThe VISUM PALM analyzer successfully predicts the moisture content of snack samples with an error of less than 1.5% in under 2 seconds\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
