Food and beverage

As consumer demands continue to evolve alongside the increasing health concerns and challenges facing the industry, we are seeing more professional research activities around healthy ingredients. The food and beverage industry is also required to adhere to strict safety guidelines and regulations to prevent contamination and preserve the high quality of the finished products.

Compliance with safety is critical as it can impact product quality, food safety and unexpected downtime that results in low-quality end-products. Measurement instrumentation can help to overcome these challenges when processing food and producing beverages. Reliable and accurate process monitoring is crucial to optimizing the entire production process.

At DKSH, we offer the technologies for sample testing, training and service support to help you overcome these challenges and uphold your quality, safety and customer perceptions.

Measurement types

Particle size distribution

Particle size analysis in the range 0.01-3500 microns. For nanoparticle analysis see dedicated section.

Morphology

Morphological analysis of particles in the range 0.5-10000 microns (size, shape and transparency of particles). Integrated Raman chemical analysis with MDRS (Morphologically Directed Raman Spectroscopy).

Nanoparticle characterization

Size, concentration and zeta potential anlysis of nano-systems using light scattering techniques such as DLS, ELS and NTA techniques.

Rheology, Viscosity and Powder Flowability

Viscosity measurement and visco-elastic properties characterization of liquid dispersions, complex fluids and semi-solid materials.

Stability analysis

Rapid and objective quantification of concentrated dispersion real stability using Multiple Light Scattering.

High pressure homogenizer

High pressure homogenizing technique to produce stable nanoemulsions, reduce particle size or molecular weight of polysaccharides, nanoencapsulation, de-agglomeration, etc.

Biomolecular interactions

Biomolecular interactions of proteins, antibodies, nucleic acids, lipids and other biomolecules using ITC Microcalorimetry or BioLayer Interferometry BLI techniques.

Protein aggregate analysis

SEC is the standard method for protein aggregate analysis. The choice of pore size is related to the size of the molecule to be separated.

Elemental analysis

XRF provides both qualitative and quantitative information on a wide variety of sample types. It can quantify elements from beryllium (Be) up to americium (Am) in concentrations from 100% down to sub-ppm level.

Phase identification

Phase identification is the most important application of X-ray diffraction (XRD). It is not only applied on powder samples but also on polycrystalline solids, suspensions and thin films.

Polymer characterization

Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) that separates analytes on the basis of size, typically in organic solvents. The technique is often used for the analysis of polymers.
