Food
A broad range of samples (proteins, glucides and lipids) has to be characterised |
|
|
The traditional ways of characterizing food (taste, touch, smell, sight) are no longer suited to the food industry. Thermal analysis is one of the most powerful techniques in the field of food characterization. Experimental data associated with the thermal behaviour of products and ingredients during their preparation or use allows the following phenomena to be characterized:... More... |

Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry: powerful tools for productivity and efficiency |
|
|
Setaram proposes the DSC 131 with which you can, for example, determine the melting temperature of margarine. However, even though the DSC technique is a powerful way of characterizing food ingredients, it is not suited to all applications. Its main limitations are the small amount of sample that can be investigated, lack of sensitivity (diluted solutions) and no possibility of mixing two compounds (liquid or powder). It is to overcome such limitations that our R&D department has designed two perfectly suitable tools: the MicroDSC III and the C80 with their 3D 'Sensor inside'. With microDSC III it is possible to study the denaturation of different samples such as eggs, keratin, soy solution and animal proteins, and to follow the gelification process in order to better understand the reversibility of gelation. For larger samples, the best solution is to work with our C80, specially designed for heat dissolution and mixing determination. |

BATTERY SAFETY 2010
Boston, MA - USA
We will also be holding a workshop on November 4th entitled:
An Introduction to Assesment of Batteries & Materials Using Calorimetry and Thermal Analysis
A seminar designed to help understand the applications of calorimetry and thermal analysis in the assessment of batteries, cells and materials development. This includes everything from screening materials, to self discharge and of course abuse and overcharge testing.
The agenda is a series of presentations that introduce the techniques, principles of operation and key measurement capabilities of different techniques as well as a review of data and publications in the recent months that describe experimental procedures being applied today throughout the battery world. - October 18, 2010 - October 22, 2010
