2 What we ll talk about Featured technologies Importance to industry Application examples Q&A

3 Your interests What s available Industry requirements/trends Data interpretation (webinars TR008, TR010, TR015) Pastes Food Safety Modernization Act Particle shape

4 Featured technologies LA-950 / LA-300 Laser Diffraction SZ-100 Dynamic Light Scattering & Zeta Potential CAMSIZER & CAMSIZER XT Dynamic Image Analysis PSA300 Static Image Analysis SA-9600 Flowing Gas BET Surface Area LAQUA Electrochemistry Meters

$LA-950: Laser Diffraction Particle size performance leader Ninth generation Ultra durable$

5 LA-950: Laser Diffraction Particle size performance leader Ninth generation Ultra durable Lowest total cost of ownership Suspension, emulsion, powder, paste, gel 10 nanometer 3 mm

6 CAMSIZER: Image Analysis High resolution size & shape Patented dual capture Powders and suspensions Classic: 30 micron 30 millimeter XT: 1 micron 3 millimeter

7 Why Do We Care? Particle size affects Mouthfeel Solubility Flavor intensity Powder flow Particle size monitors Milling / grinding Mixing Eating is emotional

8 Why Care About Shape? Mixing time Shape affects mobility and causes segregation Smaller influence than size distribution Powder flow Shape affects many aspects of powder processing

9 Why Do We Care Part 3 Food Safety Modernization Act Passed in 2010 Shift from reactive to proactive How does particle characterization relate to food safety? Greater emphasis on analytical testing means more money allocated, means opinions changing on what is and is not necessary

10 Mayonnaise Ingredients: oil, egg yolks, salt, vinegar or lemon juice Slowly add oil to egg yolk while adding energy (whisk, blender, mixer) Energy helps disperse oil into water from yolks (oil in water emulsion) Yolks contain lecithin, which stabilizes the emulsion

11 Emulsion Stability Want stable emulsion Without stabilizers, most emulsion eventually phase separate Mechanisms: creaming, coalescence, Ostwald ripening

interact Electrostatic stabilization: alter surface

12 Emulsion Stability Steric stabilization: coat surface with polymers Particles can t touch so they don t interact Electrostatic stabilization: alter surface chemistry to put charge on particle surface Repel like magnets

13 Steric Stabilization Multi-Layered Emulsions* *Weiss, J., Takhistove, P., McClements, D.,Functional Materials in Food Nanotechnology, Journal of Food Science, Vol. 71, Nr. 9, 2006

14 Zeta Potential If surface has + charge, then - ions attracted to surface + ions attracted to ions, builds electric double layer Slipping plane: distance from particle surface where ions move with particle ZP = potential (mv) at slipping plane

15 Milk Homogenization

16 Milk Homogenization

17 Milk Homogenization LA-300 Casein micelle

18 Flavor Emulsions Many soft drinks use oils to add flavor Pure oil would not mix w/water Use flavor emulsions If not formulated properly, oil phases separates to surface, leaves ring

Superior Dry Powder Feeder Direct flow of

impact surfaces means good dispersion w/o

25 Superior Dry Powder Feeder Direct flow of powder down to cell rather than turn 90 o, then around plastic tube, no density restriction like horizontal units, zero impact surfaces means good dispersion w/o comminution Webinar TE016: Optimizing Dry Powder Measurements

26 Coffee Grinding Reproducibility Grounds up to 3 mm q(%) Diameter(µm) Nine measurements from nine unique samplings of three different ground coffee products. Notice the product with coarsest particles greater than 2000 microns.

27 Instant Coffee Figure 6: One measurement each of three different instant coffee products (Resolution). Figure 8: Correlation to historic sieve results (black marks) (Accuracy). Figure 7: Three different measurements of a single instant coffee product (Precision). Figure 9: Shape comparison (SPHT) of two different instant coffee products.
