Moisture analysis plays a vital role in all areas of the food industry, from goods-in inspections, through quality control, production, and storage, to the development of new products. Explore this detailed guide on precise moisture content determination in food products using advanced thermogravimetric techniques. It highlights the advantages of Mettler Toledo Halogen Moisture Analyzers, including rapid and reliable measurements. Covering diverse samples like dairy, plant-based foods, and processed products, the guide ensures quality control and consistent results across the food industry.

Moisture affects the quality, shelf-life and usability of many products, including pharmaceutical substances, plastics and foodstuffs. Therefore, monitoring and determination of the moisture content in samples is an important application. Typically, loss on drying (LOD) using a drying oven is used as reference method, but this can be slow with many manual steps. Faster determination of moisture content can be achieved with new methods, such halogen moisture analyzers (HMA), which are easy to use and give a direct result in a fraction of the time. The challenge has been how to validate the HMA method and prove that the results are comparable with the drying oven method.

Explore a detailed comparison between the drying oven and halogen moisture analyzer (HMA) methods for moisture content determination. With practical guides, real-world examples, and expert insights, this resource is essential for optimizing moisture analysis in industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food production.

This guide provides helpful insights into essential measurement techniques such as weighing, pH measurement, pipetting and more, to help you improve the accuracy and efficiency of your day-to-day measurement tasks.
