X-pedition Food safety takes you from cow to chocolate

During this X-pedition, follow the route along six different stands that give you insight into innovations in the field of food safety. For example, you will see how raw milk is analyzed accurately and efficiently. And learn how laser diffraction checks the quality of cocoa, milk and sugar particles for the best taste sensation and mouthfeel. Visit demonstrations, try out techniques yourself and get tips on how it can help your laboratory move forward.

All about food safety

During the X-pedition you will taste all the flavors that our exhibitors have to offer in the field of food safety. Think of quality control of incoming milk using FT-A Lactoscope or testing for Salmonella using incubation. Take away practical tips and advice that will make it easier for you to check and guarantee food safety.

From cow to chocolate

If you follow the route of the X-pedition Food Safety, you will see innovations from cow to chocolate.

The first step, the quality control in dairy products, we demonstrate by means of the latest innovation from MLS, the Cyclone. This is a fully automatic 'walk away' system and it is able to automate the preparation of microbiological quality control in the food industry.

For several years there has been concern about contamination of mineral oils, such as lubricating oil, gloss agents or printing ink in our food. Step two is testing MOAH in cocoa seeds by means of NormalPhase HPLC at the stand of Axel Semrau.

At the stand of Beun de Ronde hear all about eelement analysis by means of microwave destruction. Microwave destruction is one of the most widely used methods for the analysis of heavy materials in food materials.

Detecting Salmonella is an essential step for our food safety. Thanks to rapid techniques for recognizing pathogens, Salmonella is being discovered more and more quickly. Nevertheless, confirmation of the positive result with incubation remains necessary. Hettich Benelux demonstrates the benefits of this at its stand.

Hygiene monitoring, in-process testing or disinfection control: whatever you call this step, it is crucial to ensure the safety of your product. Minimize the risk of dangerous microorganisms that cause illness, infection or intoxication via food. Discover at Merck the latest instrumentation specifically designed for these challenges.

The best taste and the right mouthfeel are not something you just get. For that, the size of the cocoa, milk and sugar particles must be in exactly the right proportions. At the stand of Beckman Coulter shows you how to measure the particle distribution of these particles using laser diffraction. This is measured both before and after in a production process. The result: delicious chocolate.

At each stand you answer a knowledge question. If you have answered all the knowledge questions, you will receive a delicious gift!

Meet, see, do
