Nutritional labeling for side dishes, bento, and general food products has been made mandatory since April 2020. We propose the near-infrared component measurement device "Food Scan 2," which enables rapid and highly accurate nutritional component analysis as an efficient analytical method. This device comes standard with calibration curves for various foods and can simultaneously measure moisture, protein, fat, salt, carbohydrates, and other items per 100g sample in as little as 25 seconds. It also supports calorie labeling. A key advantage is that you can measure the crushed sample directly in a plastic bag. 【Features】 ■ Simultaneous measurement of nutritional components compliant with food labeling standards ■ High-precision and high-speed measurement using transmission-type near-infrared analysis (as fast as 25 seconds) ■ Equipped with calibration curves for side dishes and bento, no development required ■ Wide scanning area (approximately 50% of the sample area) *For more details, please refer to the materials available via the download button.

"FoodScan2" is a near-infrared component measurement device equipped with calibration curves for various types of side dishes, frozen foods, and bento boxes. Samples that have been blended into a paste can be placed in a plastic bag and measured directly. In just 25 seconds of measurement time, it can simultaneously measure eight components per 100g of sample: moisture, protein, fat, carbohydrates, ash, sodium, dietary fiber, and sugars. [Features] - Simultaneous measurement of nutritional components in accordance with food labeling standards - High precision and fast measurement (25 seconds) using transmission near-infrared analysis - Measurement can be conducted safely as no reagents are required - Standard calibration curves for side dishes and bento boxes included *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

A variety of different technologies can be used to construct NIR (Near Infrared) spectrometers. This document compares the technologies of FT-NIR (Fourier Transform Near Infrared) interferometers, diffraction grating monochromators, and fixed diffraction grating detector diode arrays. It discusses the definitions of commonly used specifications, their impact on measurement performance, various spectrometer technologies, and the advantages and disadvantages of each technology, so please take a moment to read it. 【Contents】 ■ Introduction ■ Definition of Specifications ■ Impact of Specifications ■ Description of Various Technologies ■ Advantages and Disadvantages of Various Technologies ■ Conclusion ■ References *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

There is a growing interest in the color and hue of food, but measuring color requires visual inspection or specialized equipment (such as colorimeters), which can be time-consuming. However, what if a spectroscopic measurement device could measure color simultaneously with compositional components? This document summarizes information on the definition of color measurement, measurement methods, and a comparison of measurement results obtained from the device with those from conventional color meters. To utilize this measurement function in food manufacturing management, we will introduce the background of color measurement in processed foods, as well as the definitions of color parameters and measurement methods.
