Dr. Dreisörner (photo right side), and Mrs. Laure Cousandier, (Maes, Haguenau, France photo mid) accepting the Awards during the Europain 2012.

The GlutoPeak, patented by Brabender, enables the measurement of the aggregation behaviour of gluten, in form of vital gluten, flour or coarse grain within a short time. Thus enabling a description of the gluten quality within a very short period of time. The test time varies depending on the sample between 60 and 600 s and only 4 – 10 g sample material (vital gluten or flour sample) is needed. The GlutoPeak Innovation was already awarded for the second time on international basis (the 1st Award AACC 2010 and on the Europain 2012 now as well).

The DA 7200 performs accurate compositional testing in only 6 seconds, and has helped a large number of companies to lower their costs and improve product quality; making it the most accurate, rapid and easy to use NIR instrument available in the marketplace

It can be used to:

  • test raw materials and ingredients
  • monitor and optimise production processes
  • verify end-product compliance to specifications

Benefits include:

  • Quick response; increasing lab throughput, thereby freeing operators for other tasks
  • Money saving; the improved accuracy allows users to decrease safety margins and improve quality
  • No mess; cheese, butter, cream and powders can be analysed with no sample preparation and no clean-up after analysis.

Parameters Include:

  • Moisture
  • Protein

Are you coming along to the Cereals Event, you can find details of what we’ll be demonstrating (and the link to bacon butties may become clear!)

  • Defective or inappropriate ingredients
  • Unbalanced formulation
  • Poor dough development and maturity
  • Incorrectly adjusted or poorly maintained equipment
  • Poor handling after baking

*Bread Faults by Bake Info, download a copy here

The C-Cell analyser will analyse bread in a matter of seconds to determine many different characteristics for example:

  • Ingredients – how effective are they?
  • Process – identify problems quickly, quantify variations in bread to save wastage and downtime

Almost 50 parameters can be measured with a single C-Cell snap including:

  • Height
  • Total Concavity
  • Slice brightness
  • Cell diameter
  • Cell volume

View the full list of measureable parameters here
