2.2. Mass Spectrometer (MS)
2.2.1. New node
2.2.1.1. MS is used to authenticate food origins and compositions, helping to prevent food fraud. This includes verifying geographic origin, detecting adulteration (e.g., mislabeled fish species), and confirming organic labeling claims.
2.3. Halogen Moisture Analyzer
2.3.1. New node
2.3.1.1. The moisture content of food affects its taste, texture, weight, and shelf life. By using a Halogen Moisture Analyzer, manufacturers can ensure that their products maintain consistent quality and meet the standards required for consumer acceptance and regulatory compliance.
2.4. Automated Food Pathogen Detector
2.4.1. New node
2.4.1.1. Automated food pathogen detectors typically utilize technologies such as PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), immunoassay-based methods, or biosensors to detect biological markers specific to pathogens like Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and others. These methods are highly sensitive and can provide results much faster than traditional culturing methods.
2.5. Food Texture Analyzer
2.5.1. New node
2.5.1.1. Texture analyzers help in the formulation of new food products by allowing developers to quantify and optimize textural properties that appeal to consumers. For example, when developing a new snack, the ideal crunchiness can be measured and adjusted based on the feedback received during testing.
2.6. Automated Sample Dilution
2.6.1. New node
2.6.1.1. Automated dilution minimizes human error and variability in sample preparation. This is crucial for high-throughput testing environments where consistency across multiple samples and batches is essential. Automation ensures that each dilution is consistent, thereby increasing the reliability of the test results.
2.7. High Performance Blender
2.7.1. New node
2.7.1.1. High-performance blenders deliver consistent results, which is vital for maintaining the quality of blended products like sauces, smoothies, and purées. This consistency helps businesses ensure that every serving meets their standard for taste and texture.
2.8. Fake Meat Detector
2.8.1. New node
2.8.1.1. It could be employed to authenticate origin and detect adulteration in products such as spices, oils, and meats by analyzing their chemical profiles.
3. SMFL

4.1. Digital Refractometer
4.1.1. Determining the sugar content in fruits, juices, and beverages to assess quality and ripeness.
4.2. Benchtop pH Meter
4.2.1. Critical tool used for measuring the acidity or alkalinity of various food products to ensure quality control, product consistency, and safety.
4.3. Portable Spectrometer
4.3.1. Determining the composition of food products, detecting adulterants, and ensuring that the food meets safety standards.
4.4. High Powered Compund Microscope
4.4.1. Detecting and identifying bacteria, yeasts, molds, and other microorganisms in food products to prevent spoilage and ensure consumer safety.
4.5. ATP Tester
4.5.1. Ensuring that surfaces, utensils, and equipment are properly cleaned and sanitized by measuring residual ATP levels after cleaning procedures. This helps in preventing cross-contamination and ensuring the effectiveness of sanitation protocols.
4.6. Bacterial Scan
4.6.1. Employing methods like ATP testing or culturing techniques to scan for harmful bacteria on food products or production surfaces to ensure they are free of pathogens like Salmonella or E. coli.
