Some of the most critical parameters to test in this sector are:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Allergens<\/a> – esp. Gluten<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Spoilage microorganisms, yeasts & molds<\/li>\n\n\n\n

- Mycotoxins & heavy metals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Nutritional values of your products are also key quality indicators & essential for adequate labeling.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Foreign bodies<\/strong> are a frequent issue in cereals, flours and bakery matrices that can result in a safety risk<\/strong> for consumers.<\/p>\n\nOur teams use a combination of different methods to identify foreign bodies in a product & investigate their sources. To get a \u201cfingerprint\u201d of a foreign body, methods range from ED-XRF<\/strong> (absorption of X-Ray measurements), microscopy <\/strong>and chemistry <\/strong>tests, to FTIR<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur Silliker Food Science Centers <\/strong>have dedicated experts for such investigations with the know-how and experience needed to find out rapidly foreign body\u2019s identity and source.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\nSilliker Food Science Center<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nSensory & Consumers Studies<\/h3>\n\n\n\nBakery products and other cereal-derived products such as pasta are specific matrices to study in terms of sensoriality and consumers\u2019 preferences.
