Particle size analysis using the CAMSIZER X2+ or SYNC is a key element in the quality control and development of chocolate products. The size and shape of particles significantly influence sensory properties such as mouthfeel, melting behavior, smoothness, and creaminess. These attributes depend on whether particle sizes remain below the sensory perception threshold.
Accurate knowledge of particle size and shape distribution is also essential for ensuring storage stability, flow behaviour, and efficient processing. Therefore, particle size and shape distribution analysis is an important tool for maintaining consistent product quality.
The webinar presents several case studies related to chocolate applications, with a focus on dynamic image analysis. This method complements traditional techniques such as laser diffraction and provides deeper insights into raw materials, ingredients, and final products.
Topics include:
- Laser and imaging technologies as a toolkit for the highest quality control demands
- Advanced particle characterization for particle size and shape information
- Case studies of different industrial applications
