Pulse Flour Analysis BAKERpaper
Technology Insights

Pulse Flour Analysis BAKERpaper

Solve your pulse flour challenges with KPM's innovative technologies, guaranteeing delicious baked goods that meet consumer expectations.

Pulse flours are emerging as innovative alternatives to wheat flour in baked goods, driven by health trends and environmental considerations. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, pulses also contribute to sustainable agriculture by enhancing soil fertility. However, their lack of gluten presents challenges, such as changes in dough behavior, texture, and flavor. This paper explores the functional properties of pulse flours, their impact on baking performance, and the tools available, like the Mixolab 2, to evaluate their quality and optimize formulations. By understanding these factors, bakers can confidently incorporate pulse flours to create nutritious, high-quality products.

An Automated Method to Monitor Dairy Acidification
Application Note

An Automated Method to Monitor Dairy Acidification

iCinac solves one of the most challenging processes for dairy and fermented foods.

Acidification starters are one of the most challenging processes for dairy and fermented foods, as slight deviations can result in heavy financial losses due to the effect on the product quality. There is no way to visually determine the acidity level of dairy products, which means manual efforts are required to collect a milk sample and analyze with a test kit, or in a lab setting. This can become a time-consuming and costly effort, with many outside variables – including human error – that can affect the process.

A Streamlined Method for Acidification Testing

One dairy quality lab began a search for alternatives to conduct dairy acidity tests with greater ease and efficiency. To their surprise, they only found one verifiable solution: the iCinac system. The iCinac is currently the only system on the market dedicated to monitoring acidification activity of lactic elements, which simultaneously observes changes in pH, temperature, and redox potential of one or several samples at a time.

The appropriate inocula can be defined and controlled by characterizing the acid formation of a specific phylum and knowing the specific test parameters’ influence.

How the iCinac Made an Instant Impact

The iCinac paid back in several ways, including:

  • Allowing the QC engineers to find the most efficient acidification starter for manufacturing needs
  • Providing the operators with a greater command of the consistency from each batch of starters
  • Helping to verify whether their process is well controlled

Many large companies around the world have already standardized their milk acidification testing with the iCinac platform at the core of their process. Additionally, the iCinac meets ISO 26323|IDF 213 – the industry standard for determining dairy cultures’ acidification activity by continuous pH measurement.

Why Your Flour Quality Control Sometimes Fails, and How to Fix It

Baking Industry Observations Often Overlooked

Baking processes have evolved remarkably over the last 20 years. Products that were supposed to be only shapeable by hand are now produced on high throughput industrial processes using sophisticated automated machines.

Nevertheless, the methods for evaluating flour quality have generally remained the same. To achieve success in these changing times, bakers have more opportunities to take a more impactful role in defining flour quality specifications for their unique processes.

This paper provides the guidelines to help bakers become more proactive in controlling flour quality for their unique process by applying tried and true technologies.

Download Our Baker’s Process Guide to Learn:

  • Which flour parameters influence important dough rheology properties (stickiness, texture, volume, etc.) and the tools bakers can use to measure and control them.
  • How bakers can take a more decisive role in defining their Certificates of Acceptance (COAs) for incoming flour.
  • New strategies for bakers to address today’s industry challenges like labor shortages, rising ingredients costs, growing consumer demands (keto, whole wheat, gluten-free, etc.), and more.

Moisture Analysis in Cookie & Cracker Production
Application Note

Moisture Analysis in Cookie & Cracker Production

Control of moisture in cookies, crackers, biscuits, and crispbreads is necessary in order to optimize the quality of the product and the production process. Moisture measurements can be made on or off-line. Online measurements greatly improve efficiency; they eliminate the need for routine laboratory moisture testing and provide an instantaneous measurement so that necessary process changes can be implemented sooner. Offline moisture measurements are simple, sample a greater product area, and are quicker than using Infrared balances or oven tests.

In-Line Moisture Analysis of Limestone
Application Note

In-Line Moisture Analysis of Limestone

Moisture measurements enable the rejection of the finer wet impurities, such as clay, sand and iron-bearing minerals, from the crushed limestone. In addition, the MCT 460 or the NIR-6000 is used to determine the moisture content of the finely crushed limestone exiting the secondary crusher, and dryer - if one is employed. Moisture needs to be monitored to ensure corrective measures can be taken to prevent blockages from occurring within the screeners, as well as to ensure the levels satisfy the customer’s specification.

In-Process Analysis of Moisture & Oil for Olive Paste and Pomace
Application Note

In-Process Analysis of Moisture & Oil for Olive Paste and Pomace

Measurement of oil & moisture in olives provides information that enables maximization of yield through growth of olive varieties that yield high oil levels, harvesting the crop at the optimal time, and optimization of the oil extraction process. Make instantaneous on-line (MCT466-SF) or at-line (QuikCheck) measurements of these constituents. 

Measurement of oil and moisture in olives provides information that enables maximization of yield through growth of olive varieties that yield high oil levels, harvesting the crop at the optimal time, and optimization of the oil extraction process. Since farmers often receive payment based on moisture & oil content, and not simply weight, both the olive producers & processors profit from being able to make instantaneous on-line (MCT466-SF) or at-line (QuikCheck) measurements of these constituents.

In-Process Analysis of Moisture & Oil for Potato Chips
Application Note

In-Process Analysis of Moisture & Oil for Potato Chips

Oil & moisture measurements can be made on-line with the MCT466-SF or MCT469-SF for immediate feedback, keeping the process moving quickly and ensuring a better quality product.

Moisture measurement and control is extremely important in the production of potato chips. Not only does it impact the taste, but also the texture and shelf-life. Oil measurement is required for labeling and is needed to ensure consistency in the flavor of the chips and provides important process information concerning the replacement of slicing knives. Both measurements can be made off-line, but on-line measurement (e.g., with the MCT466-SF or MCT469-SF) is advantageous as feedback is more immediate.
