Importance Of Measurement & Monitoring Technology For The Food & Beverage Industry

Quality Control Of Incoming Goods / Raw Materials

During the initial stage of food processing, it is important to obtain efficient and immediate analysis of incoming goods. Real-time quality control leads to quick, clear and well-informed decisions to prevent non-conformance of the produced goods. This avoids unnecessary rework and saves time, storage, and resources.

Quality Control Of Intermediate Products

Quality control of intermediates during food processing is necessary to make timely process adjustments and avoid product reworking. Seamless and effective production process monitoring and control can avoid out-of-spec products, solutions with accurate and reproducible measurements, high throughput, and real-time monitoring are necessary.

Process Optimization In Food Production

Instrumentation helps operators determine whether a system could and should be further optimized. By making these changes carefully, they can achieve better processing effectiveness and efficiency. Measuring and monitoring instruments help food and beverage companies ensure their products are safe for consumers. Without it, companies face the risk of losing money on contaminated batches or, if contaminated products make it to the distribution phase, consumer lawsuits.

Quality Control Of Final Products

In the last step of the quality control program, final goods are analyzed and released before being shipped to food retailers and consumers. The final good is tested for conformity with its specification, the legal requirements, and its compliance with food labelling. Depending on regulatory requirements, consumer needs, type of food and food product, a sampling plan is established that outlines the sampling scheme, parameters to determine and sample size.

Measurement Parameters

Temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide can have a dramatic influence on the quality of foods and beverages. Monitoring along the entire supply chain is essential to compliance and product quality.

Temperature

During production, storage and transport of food, continuous temperature controls must be carried out to keep your food safe. This not only serves to ensure the quality of the products, but also protects the health and safety of the consumer. Cooked or frozen food stored and transported outside of a recommended temperature range can cause bacteria and fungus growth. In order to comply with legal regulations and keep products at the desired temperature, temperature deviations during production, storage and transport must be alarmed and documented.

In order to comply with legal regulations and keep products at the desired temperature, temperature deviations during production, storage and transport must be alarmed and documented.

Humidity

Atmospheric air always contains a certain quantity of water vapour. This content deviates with time and its location and is called air humidity (humidity). Excessive relative humidity promotes mould growth and impairs the shelf life of foods. Accurately measuring the humidity in the drying air is essential to optimize the drying process. It is important to keep the air dry enough to avoid microbial growth and keep products safe, and optimal conditions can only be achieved with accurate dryer controls. Optimizing the drying process provides a competitive advantage to manufacturers, saves energy and costs, and improves process consistency and end product quality. Typical applications include monitoring fluid bed and spray drying and controlling humidity levels in baking ovens.

Carbon Dioxide

Carbon dioxide is being used in a variety of applications in food and processing industries. Applications of carbon dioxide in preserving fruits, vegetables, meats, food grains, and liquid foods; inactivating microorganisms; extracting oils, flavors, colors, and chemicals. Too much CO2 also has a negative impact on human comfort. It is particularly important to measure carbon dioxide safety levels in the beverage industry. There is also a risk of gas leakage from tanks or pipelines. Because CO2 is heavier than air, the gas can accumulate in non-ventilated areas and pose a serious health risk for employees. This is why CO2 measurement sensors should be placed as close to floor level as possible.

Food Waste To Value

Biogas is the mixture of gases produced by the process of anaerobic digestion, which is the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Biogas can be used as a source of energy and is produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste, or food waste. Moreover, biogas can be upgraded to fuel-grade biomethane.
