Unity Scientific delivers solutions for the cookie baking industry. In less than a minute our near infrared (NIR) systems provide simultaneous results for moisture, protein, ash, fat, fiber, starch, sugar and other parameters.
Analysis for the Food & Dairy Industry
Near infrared analysis has been used for a number of years as an analysis tool to provide fast answers to measure quantities of certain key constituents during processing/production and to test final product. Compared to on-line NIR analysis, the SpectraStar is a much more cost effective solution. Since Unity At-Line NIR can be placed anywhere in the plant, the SpectraStar can be used to monitor several process points (and even several process lines) at one time.
Snack Food
Quality control testing can be done on raw materials, during the process and on final product for everything from moisture, fat, percent seasoning and may others.
Breakfast Cereal
Several methods of analysis are used during the breakfast cereal manufacturing process to ensure food quality control of food moisture including near infrared (NIR) analysis and Wet Chemistry for nutrient analysis.
Baking & Baking Mixes
The challenge to all baking mix manufacturers in today’s economy is to operate plants as efficiently as possible, with a focus on quality and keeping costs in check.
Spices & Seasonings
NIR has long been used as an analysis tool in the spice industry. Incoming spices can be analyzed for moisture, protein, oil, volatile oil, and other properties to aid in processing.
Processed Cheese
Processed cheese manufacturers make large volumes of cheese for retail and restaurant. Incoming raw ingredients include mainly cheddar cheese and other materials like cream, anhydrous butter and powders.
Ice Cream Mixes
Unity SpectraStar series provides a NIR solution for improving the analytical testing methods at the plant. NIR is a fast, safe, and reliable technology that will analyze at all critical points throughout the process.
Dairy Powders
The Unity SpectraStar 2400 provides a NIR solution for improving the analytical testing methods at the dairy powder manufacturing plant.
Crackers
There are many areas throughout the process where analytical testing is necessary to insure both optimal operating conditions and product quality. Near Infrared (NIR) and wet chemistry analysis are used to ensure product quality.
Chocolate & Cocoa
The cocoa market is comprised of cocoa processors and chocolate manufacturers. QC analysis needs to be done at every step of production to ensure consistent products.
Oils
Unity offers a variety of solution for the analysis of oils, fats, proteins and moisture that include NIR and FT-NIR instrumentation.
Sugar
Unity offers a full range of solutions for the sugar industry that include at-line, on-line and laboratory systems for both Near Infrared analysis and also image analysis.
Cheese & Butter
Unity NIR analysis provides a safe, effective fat analysis alternative to the Soxhlet extraction method. Moisture, Protein and Ash are also other important constituents that require measurement.
Cultured Products
The Unity Scientific SpectraStar 2400 and 2500 near infrared Spectrometers provide the rapid analysis of cultured products for moisture, fat, protein, lactose, total sugars/carbohydrates.
Dairy Fluids
The Unity Scientific SpectraStar 2400 and 2500 near infrared Spectrometers provide the rapid analysis of fluid milk for fat, protein, lactose, total solids.
