FoodScan™ Meat Analyser can be used to determine fat, moisture, protein and collagen composition in raw materials, blends and final products. FoodScan also measures salt in finished products. With the high accuracy of the FoodScan Meat Analyser blends can be optimised for cost and quality. This means lower costs for raw materials and less customer claims.
FoodScan is installed with ready-to-use calibration for meat, and is so versatile that it covers most common meat products. Often users have to spend months and sometimes years to develop the calibrations covering their whole product range. With FoodScan, FOSS now provides you with a complete solution including ready to use Meat Calibration based on the most advanced chemometric methods ANN – Artificial Neural Network.
Structure and sensorial properties are very much dependent on fat, moisture, protein and connective tissue composition. The FoodScan Meat Analyser has the capability to determine all these parameters.
The high throughput of samples, up to 70 per hour, makes it possible to adjust and fine-tune the process quickly and accurately. Results obtained by the FoodScan provide high accuracy and precision, compared with wet chemical analysis. Furthermore, the results are not affected by sample temperature, salt concentration, packing technique and sample structure.
With no adjustments needed on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, and no use of organic solvents, the FoodScan becomes a very reliable, convenient and environmentally friendly tool for the meat industry.
