Novitom can elucidate the 3D microscopic structure of any type of natural agri-product or manufactured food. Unlike classical microscopy techniques that require specific sample preparation, X-ray microtomography can be operated on intact samples in their natural conditions –control of temperature and humidity- or on samples undergoing processes : mechanical stress, temperature ramp, etc. On demand, Novitom performs 3D image analysis to provide quantitative process follow-up or screening data.

Some examples of analysis:

Micro-texture of plants, fruits, wood and seeds

Porosity of extruded products

Micro-structure of lyophilised or frozen products

3D-characterization of foam and emulsion, porosity, ageing

Monitoring of forming process and cooking process

Mechanical behaviour, rheology

Deposits on membranes and filters

Grain milling and processing

Stability and rheology of lipids and colloïds

Coating and micro-encapsulation
