Controlling and improving product quality to assure consumer health is of foremost importance to the milk and dairy producers, in all phases of the production chain. The MPA II Multi Purpose FT-NIR analyzers can be equipped to handle and measure various types of samples in an optimal way.
Just one instrument can ensure the fast quality control of liquid, solid and paste-like materials of any consistency. All relevant quality parameters can be analyzed cost-effectively with NIR, ensuring fast quality control.
If it is more than milk, Bruker’s MPA II FT-NIR analyzer can analyze any raw material, intermediate and final product along the production chain, including:
- raw & standardized milk
- liquid milk products, e. g. flavored milk drinks
- whey & whey concentrate
- condensed milk (also sweetened)
- lactose & whey protein concentrate
- milk & whey powders
- cream & butter
- yogurt & greek yogurt
- ice cream & desserts
- hard & soft cheese
Common parameters which can be determined in various dairy products include fat, protein, lactose and total solids. More specific parameters for milk include urea (MUN), nitrogen or freezing point depression. Bruker Optics comprehensive calibration packages for feed and ingredients are developed following the ISO 21543 guideline.
