Food and BeverageThe leading incubators and climate chambers for the food & beverage industry

The leading incubators and climate chambers for the food & beverage industry

Faster development times are not only present in technology-heavy industries, but have reached the food and beverage industry as well. Food manufacturers are now under constant pressure to launch new products in shorter time scales and often do not have sufficient time for real time shelf-life testing.

BINDER’s simulation chambers with patented light sensors help manufactures to accelerate shelf-life testing and meet guidelines such as the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH).

Working with microorganisms plays an important role in food research, but producing and efficiently multiplying microorganisms requires a stable incubation phase. This is where BINDER’s refrigerated incubators – which offer two different cooling technologies – come into play.

Applications

  • Accelerated shelf-life testing (ASLT): an indirect method of measuring and estimating the stability of a product by storing the product under controlled conditions that increase the rate of degradation occurring in the product under normal storage conditions
  • Determination of quality and shelf life specifications for foodstuffs, luxury foods and beverages
  • Stability tests of newly developed food
  • Stability tests and durability of food (spoilage of food)
  • Fruit fly breeding
  • Plants growth
  • Reference institutes
  • Pathology

Recommended products:

  • The new Solid.Line KBF-S climate chamber is a custom-made solution for long-term testing and accelerated stability testing for pharmaceutical products in accordance with the ICH Q1A guideline.

    Series KBF | Humidity test chambers with large temperature/humidity range

    The BINDER simulation chambers are ideal for applications including stability and shelf-life tests on fresh milk and dairy products as well as Accelerated Shelf-Life Tests (ASLT) on long life products.

    As part of these testing processes, the KB series of cooling incubators with compressor technology is the ideal incubator for safe, reproducible incubation, even at high ambient temperatures.

  • The BINDER KBF is the specialist for unconditionally reliable stability testing and precise maintenance of constant climate conditions.

    Series KBF-S Solid.Line | Humidity test chambers with large temperature/humidity range

    The new Solid.Line KBF-S climate chamber is a custom-made solution for long-term testing and accelerated stability testing for pharmaceutical products in accordance with the ICH Q1A guideline. The corrosion-free and condensation-free interior also ensures exceptionally stable temperature and moisture levels, even when fully loaded.

  • Series KBF P | Humidity test chambers with ICH-compliant light source

    Series KBF P | Humidity test chambers with ICH-compliant light source

    The KBF P humidity test chamber, equipped with ICH-compliant light source, is an expert when it comes to photostability tests and ensures clear test results in accordance with ICH Guideline Q1B. At the same time, the variable-position illumination cassettes offer homogeneous lighting conditions.

  • BINDER refrigerated incubators are gentle on samples and provide high-quality performance.

    Cooling incubators

    BINDER refrigerated incubators are gentle on samples and provide high-quality performance. Every KB Series refrigerated incubator thus makes safe, reproducible incubation possible, even at high ambient temperatures. Together with the efficient weekly program function, a refrigerated incubator from BINDER is truly versatile in laboratory work with microorganisms.

    The KT Series combines exceptional performance with low energy consumption. Additionally, every BINDER refrigerated incubator offers true added value with its exemplary environmental sustainability.

Case studies and applications in food and beverage

From artificial to natural colors: stability and shelf-life testing

From artificial to natural colors: stability and shelf-life testing

A significant part of the UK food industry is moving from artificial colors towards natural alternatives. However, natural colors are less stable and more expensive. The lack of stability can be a problem when natural colors are added to food products with a long ambient shelf-life.

Trends in consumer behavior and impact to food industry testing

Trends in consumer behavior and impact to food industry testing

Social change has also influenced the food industry, which is under massive pressure with ever shorter development times. Examples might include the determination of shelf-lives for products in general, as well as determining the stability of individual ingredients such as natural coloring.
