Food
A broad range of samples (proteins, glucides and lipids) has to be characterised |
|
|
The traditional ways of characterizing food (taste, touch, smell, sight) are no longer suited to the food industry. Thermal analysis is one of the most powerful techniques in the field of food characterization. Experimental data associated with the thermal behaviour of products and ingredients during their preparation or use allows the following phenomena to be characterized:... More... |

Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry: powerful tools for productivity and efficiency |
|
|
Setaram proposes the DSC 131 with which you can, for example, determine the melting temperature of margarine. However, even though the DSC technique is a powerful way of characterizing food ingredients, it is not suited to all applications. Its main limitations are the small amount of sample that can be investigated, lack of sensitivity (diluted solutions) and no possibility of mixing two compounds (liquid or powder). It is to overcome such limitations that our R&D department has designed two perfectly suitable tools: the MicroDSC III and the C80 with their 3D 'Sensor inside'. With microDSC III it is possible to study the denaturation of different samples such as eggs, keratin, soy solution and animal proteins, and to follow the gelification process in order to better understand the reversibility of gelation. For larger samples, the best solution is to work with our C80, specially designed for heat dissolution and mixing determination. |

MOF'S Conference
Marseille, FRANCE
This conference will follow the very successful 2008 conference that was held in Augsburg. The conference 2010 will be organized in Marseille at a central location overlooking the old port. The aims of MOF2010 are to address all questions concerning the community working with Metal Organic Frameworks, Metal Coordination Compounds and related materials. The spectrum of topics to be treated range from synthesis and characterization of new materials to properties of materials towards potential applications in biology/medicine, catalysis, magnetism, luminescence and sorption. Both experimental and theoretical aspects will be dealt with, along with key questions pertaining to potential industrial applications of this fascinating family of materials. - September 05, 2010 - September 10, 2010
