Food industry
Fast and correct processing of raw materials based on accurate analytical data

The food industry has deep historical roots and plays an important role in the economy and well-being of society. The food industry has undergone significant changes throughout its history and continues to evolve, adapting to new requirements and challenges. Its importance can hardly be overestimated, since it is directly related to the quality of life of people, economic development and a sustainable future of the planet.
The food industry requires strict quality control for several key reasons related to consumer safety, compliance with regulatory standards, ensuring consistent product quality, and maintaining the company’s reputation.
Quality control in the food industry is a comprehensive process that covers all stages of production, from the supply of raw materials to final consumption, the quality control process is an important factor in the successful functioning and sustainability of a company in this industry.

The Dumas method provides accurate and reliable results for the analysis of nitrogen and therefore protein in products, which is important for quality control and compliance in food production. In the food industry, standards are used such as:
ISO 16634-1:2008 This standard defines a method for determining the total nitrogen content and calculating the crude protein content of various foods.
ISO 16634-2 – Determination of nitrogen and protein calculation in foods.
AACC 46-30 – Nitrogen (total) in grains and grain products
AOAC Official Method 990.03 – Protein (other than milk) in foods, Dumas method
Dumalyzer™ CHNS-O element analyzers and Dumalyzer™ N/Protein analyzers are ideal solutions for the food industry. They provide fast and accurate nitrogen and sulfur analysis, which is critical to ensuring high food quality and safety. The instruments allow you to monitor the nitrogen content to accurately determine the protein level and measure the sulfur content to assess the effect of preservatives on the product. Dumalyzer™ devices are a reliable assistant in ensuring the quality of food products.
