Laboratory Weighing Applications in Food and Beverage |
In the production process of food, many ingredients and processed materials must be weighed accurately to ensure proper proportions to produce a consistent product. This helps to streamline the production process and reduce waste. In addition, quality control addresses food safety and through analysis of raw materials, intermediate and finished products. Examples of food analyses are the composition of food, structure, physicochemical properties, and sensory attributes. For most of these analyses, the basis of reliable results is accurate weighing therefore, it is critical to make use of the right balances in the food industry.
Lab weighing is a crucial step in any laboratory weighing application. A deep dive into the typical applications can be found in the application note including:
