Reproducible Sample Preparation for Food Analysis 10:00 am-11:00 am EDT

During this session, a variety of food samples will be discussed and processed in the Applications Lab to demonstrate the equipment options available from Retsch for preparing representative samples for analysis. Samples to be demonstrated will be pepper/spices, coffee, cereal bars, rice, and many other sample matrices. For all samples, the focus will be on best practices for preparing the food samples for subsequent analysis, such as Mycotoxin Testing, Heavy Metal Testing, NIR, and other techniques, which will also include a discussion of the considerations for each sample type and analysis.

Loss-On-Ignition for Moisture and Ash Content in Agricultural Products 1:00 pm – 1:30 pm EDT

Moisture content of food material such as dairy and horticulture products is important because moisture affects the freshness and storage stability of food. Moisture content in raw foods affect the physical and chemical properties of food during processing and consumption. The quality of milk and flour, for example, are determined for shelf life, economical value, and legal reasons, prior to processing into cheese and bread. The moisture and ash content of such materials can be measured with the Eltra Thermostep ML macro-TGA, which allows step-wise programming for loss-on-ignition (LOI) measurements for up to 19 samples simultaneously via thermogravimetry.

Improving Your Analytics for Beverage Analysis with ICP-OES 1:30 pm – 2:00 pm EDT

This presentation will focus on Elemental Analysis within the food and beverage industry for doing process control, QC and research & development studies. The focus will be on the innovations to ICP-OES (inductively coupled Plasma – optical emission spectroscopy) technology and how recent advances by SPECTRO can match or exceed the use of more difficult and expensive ICP-MS analysis.

Presentado por:

Dion A. Tsourides, Director de Aplicaciones, SPECTRO Analytical Instruments.
Con más de 25 años de experiencia en el campo de la espectroscopia de emisión óptica, Dion comenzó su carrera en SPECTRO en 1988 como especialista en sistemas ICP-OES. Como Director de Producto ICP, Dion ayudó a introducir el primer ICP-OES con capacidad halógena del mundo en 1992. En 1999, como Director de la Unidad de Negocio Global, el equipo de Dion lanzó el primer sistema ICP-OES CCD lineal del mundo basado en el círculo de Rowland. Su amplia experiencia teórica y en aplicaciones con ICP-OES incluye varias publicaciones sobre halógenos por ICP, compuestos orgánicos volátiles, lodos cerámicos, mediciones de alta precisión y materiales semiconductores ultratraza. 

Particle Size and Shape Analysis from Whole Bean to Fine Powder Foods 2:00 pm – 2:30 pm EDT

Particle characterization of food and feed are critical to the product’s functionality and consumer experience from the farm to the mill to the dinner table. Size and shape distributions or even surface area measurement of foods yield information about quality of the harvest, freshness or lifespan, stability, end use and consumer experience. This segment will discuss whole bean, coarse and fine particle distributions of food products using different sizing instruments and techniques.
