Moisture Analysis in Cookies

Moisture content in cookies and its raw materials must meet certain requirements throughout the entire production process. Controlling this important parameter is key to achieving operational excellence in cookie manufacturing.

Measuring moisture content with a halogen moisture analyzer allows obtaining fast and reliable results hence can significantly improve factory productivity while ensuring consistent high finished product quality.

Read our application note and learn how to ensure product consistency and process control with a halogen moisture analyzer.

Preview the Application Note about Measuring Moisture Content in Cookies:

This application note describes how halogen moisture analyzers improve factory productivity and ensure consistent high quality of finished goods.

The moisture content is measured at control points such as Goods-In, of the down during baking/cooling and at final product testing. With these tests shelf-life of raw materials, the cutting and molding of the dough as well as the final product quality (color, crispness, strength, and shelf life) are ensured.

This application note shows how halogen moisture analyzers deliver accurate results in 5-7 minutes (typical value) compared to 2-4 hours required by the reference methods for cookies (ICC, Method 110/1, (Determination of Moisture Content in Cereals and Cereal Products) and AACC International, Method 44-15.02 (Moisture Air Oven Method)).

Get introduced to the HC103 Halogen Moisture Analyzer a perfect choice for determining the moisture content of incoming raw materials and the final cookies. The proven measurement technology delivers highly accurate and reliable results. The moisture measurement is based on the same thermogravimetric principle as the drying oven but results are available in 5-7 minutes (typical value for cookie ingredients).

The measurement of moisture content of a cookie is demonstrated step-by-step, showing how easy and fast you get the results for your sample.
The high correlation of the results of the halogen moisture analyzer with the drying oven reference method is proven with a series of measurements for cookies. The data also emphasizes the excellent repeatability of the halogen moisture analyzer.

Benefit from our tested application methods for cookies and their ingredients. These allow you to start using the instruments right away without tedious method development efforts.
