Using Duetta to Detect Saffron AdulterationSaffron is a target for adulteration due to its high price. Other compounds can be added, such as minerals, oils or synthetic colorants. The two in one Duetta spectrometer was used to rapidly acquire Excitation Emission spectra for different saffron samples from different suppliers.
Plant science - Inorganic element imaging on a leafA wide range of elements are present in plants. Some elements exist to play important roles as plant nutrients or enzymes, and some elements accumulate unexpectedly due to environmental pollution. While it is important to understand the bulk concentrations of individual elements from a nutritional and ecotoxicological perspective, the distribution of elements is also important for a better understanding of the mechanisms of metabolism and uptake in plants.
Quality control of sugar content in beverages using Raman spectroscopyWe all consume or have all consumed sugary drinks at least once. Sugar content of those drinks must be regulated. Also, to avoid those properties of sugar, it has been replaced by sweeteners. These have lower sweetness than natural sugars. Whether it is sugar or sweetener, their content just be controlled. Here, we demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy is one solution to identify and evaluate sugar/sweetener concentrations in a quality control process.
Study of Particle Size in Food Industry: Wheat FlourIn this study, particle size of wheat flour is measured by laser diffraction technology that has emerged as the most important and effective technique in the world of particle size analysis. When compared with traditional sieve method, laser diffraction is fast, non-destructive, and provides automated measurement through a simple measurement workflow.
颗粒表征技术助力威士忌质量监控通过控制威士忌颗粒大小,商家可以制得优质风味和色泽的威士忌。但如果在制造过程中没有对颗粒的粒径进行监控,会阻碍产品的稳定性与一致性、从而影响质量和价格。本文档将会解释这些决定威士忌品质的因素与颗粒表征的关系。
Grass Seed Size and ShapeGrass seed for lawns and for agriculture is a common product in every country. Seed size makes a difference, larger seed sizes typically mean a more robust grass plant. The use of seeding machines make uniform size and shape important.
Rapid Screening for Hypocalcemia in Cow's Blood on Dairy FarmHypocalcemia, characterized by decrease in blood calcium below normal level, is one of the most common disorders affecting dairy cows at the onset of lactation.
食用昆虫元素分布显微x射线荧光成像食用昆虫作为一种可能的解决方案已受到关注,作为一种补充来源,以减少粮食不安全,因为它们的营养价值,如蛋白质、脂肪和矿物质。Micro-XRF可以无损地了解昆虫体内的元素分布。本文利用HORIBA XGT-9000 x射线分析显微镜对食用蟋蟀进行了元素地图成像,发现其颌部富含锌。
