Optimise textures and master manufacturing process parameters through knowledge of microstructure

Non-destructive analysis without sample conditioning.

  • Study of extruded foods: porosity, compactness, homogeneity
  • 3D distribution of phases: fat, water, minerals
  • Analysis of leavened dough: distribution and volume of gas cells, cell wall thickness, material volume ratio over time
  • Evolution of starch structure during different processes
  • 3D microtexture of dairy or plant-based products
  • Architecture of foams and emulsions
  • Monitoring of transformation and cooking processes

Check finished products: manufacturing process, intellectual property, quality

  • 3D organisation of ingredients in finished products
  • Identification of contaminants: 2D mapping
  • Study of stability based on storage conditions, temperature and humidity
  • Packaging integrity

Advanced studies: molecular structures

  • Monitoring starch gelatinisation during various processes

  • Fat polymorphism: butter, chocolate

  • Study of stability during storage
