- INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS
Food Industry
Whether predicting shelf-life, optimizing powder stability and caking, or selecting packaging materials, understanding liquid and gas interactions with solids is a key component of product development and manufacture in the Food industry, vital for the safety and performance of foodstuffs.
Key Challenges We Solve
Foodstuff and fine chemical interactions with moisture and other solvents is vital to predicting their efficacy for use in food & drink products.
Shelf Life Prediction
Measure moisture sorption isotherms to determine storage conditions and product stability.
Powder Stability
Characterize hygroscopicity and moisture-induced caking to improve powder handling and processing.
Drying Process Optimization
Understand moisture diffusion and desorption behaviour to optimize drying operations.
Packaging Compatibility
Evaluate moisture interactions to select packaging that preserves product quality.
