In recent months, Matís has been working on a project with the aim of improving process management in food.
Efforts have been made to achieve this goal by researching new rapid measurement methods for food quality indicators and designing food processing processes that make use of these methods. In the project, funded by the Rannís Technology Development Fund, the possibilities of near infrared (NIR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and X-ray X-ray metering technology are evaluated to measure the chemical content of food (NIR) and other properties (NMR) and water content. X-ray).
Conventional measurements to assess these quality factors are often time consuming and require the use of organic or hazardous solvents, but no such materials are involved in measurements using these rapid methods on which the project is based. The methods also all have in common that they do not cause any changes in the quality of food during measurements, which allows them to be used in real time in food processing lines.
With the advent of these quick methods, production can be better controlled and ………………more
