Mastering Moisture Analysis for Superior Quality Control in Food Science

Drive consistency, compliance, and quality in food testing with effective moisture analysis techniques

Share this Article

For lab managers in the food industry, controlling moisture content is imperative for ensuring product quality, safety, and regulatory adherence. Variations in moisture impact everything from texture and taste to microbial stability, affecting products like meat, cheese, flour, and milk. Accurate moisture analysis not only validates quality but also meets increasingly rigorous labeling and safety standards. Yet, balancing speed and precision in moisture determination can be challenging, especially in high-throughput environments where efficiency and accuracy must align. Automated loss on drying methods can eliminate the need for manual intervention, reducing the potential for human error and ensuring consistent, reliable results. 

This compiled resource provides a deep dive into best practices for moisture content analysis, detailing how to manage complex sample types and streamline workflows without compromising data integrity. You'll gain insights into how loss-on-drying methods, along with advanced tools like thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), support repeatable, compliance-ready results. These methods help optimize sample handling and testing efficiency for both high- and low-moisture products, ensuring consistent outcomes across diverse applications.

Download the full resource to enhance your lab’s moisture analysis accuracy and compliance. You'll learn how to:

  • Integrate loss-on-drying techniques into diverse food testing applications
  • Address sample variability in moisture-sensitive foods including meat, cheese, flour, and milk
  • Streamline quality control with reliable, high-throughput solutions
