The Modern Consumer Challenge
In today’s fast-evolving food landscape, transparency isn’t just a trend, it’s an expectation. Consumers are reading labels more closely than ever, seeking natural ingredients, simple recipes, and a clear understanding of what’s in their food. They want to recognise every ingredient on the label, but they also expect no compromise in taste, texture, shelf-life, or appearance.
For manufacturers, this shift brings both challenge and opportunity. Reformulating products to meet clean-label expectations while preserving sensory quality and production efficiency requires precision, insight, and innovation. The question is: how can food producers make confident, data-driven decisions that satisfy both consumers and regulators?
The Power of Advanced Food Analysis
The answer lies in precise, reliable measurement. Advanced analytical instruments enable manufacturers to understand and control the key parameters that define product quality – from oxidative stability and particle size to rheology and texture.
Anton Paar, a global leader in laboratory and process measurement technology, provides the tools that make this possible. With a portfolio designed to meet the complex demands of food research, development, and production, Anton Paar’s instruments help manufacturers innovate with confidence and consistency.
Driving Quality and Transparency Through Measurement
Anton Paar offers a comprehensive range of analytical solutions tailored for the modern food industry:
- Brabender MT-CA: An automatic moisture analyser based on the oven-drying/gravimetric loss-on-drying principle that provides highly accurate moisture and solvent content results for powders, granules, and solids, which is essential for optimising shelf-life, microbial stability, and process performance.
- RapidOxy 100: An accelerated oxidation stability tester using the Rapid Small-Scale Oxidation Test (RSSOT) principle delivers fast insights on the oxidative stability and shelf-life of oils, fats, and fat-containing foods under elevated oxygen pressure and temperature conditions.
- DMA 1002: A digital density meter using the oscillating U-tube principle for highly precise liquid density measurement, which is ideal for monitoring concentration, sugar, and alcohol content, ensuring product consistency and quality every time.
- Abbemat: A high-precision refractometer using the critical angle of total internal reflection that measures refractive index and related parameters, such as °Brix, concentration, and purity, making it perfect for sugar content analysis, syrup control, and ingredient verification.
- ViscoQC: A rotational viscometer based on torque-on-rotor technology to assess a fluid’s resistance to flow ensures consistent texture, mouthfeel, and flow properties in sauces, creams, and beverages, supporting stable, repeatable quality.
- MCR: A modular compact rheometer combining rotational and oscillatory shear testing that characterises viscosity, elasticity, and flow behaviour to optimise texture, stability, and sensory quality in products, such as chocolate, dairy, and emulsions.
- Cora: A compact Raman analyser using Raman scattering to identify molecular structures and verify composition that enables rapid, non-destructive ingredient verification, contamination detection, and authentication of raw materials and finished goods.
With Anton Paar’s precision instrumentation, food producers can confidently deliver clean-label products that align with consumer expectations without sacrificing performance, efficiency, or profitability.
From Innovation to Implementation
Anton Paar’s analytical solutions empower every stage of production, from R&D through to quality control.
