About this webinar

Thermal analysis provides valuable information about melting, gelatinization, denaturation, water content, crystallisation, oxidation and many other thermo-physical characteristics of foodstuff. All these parameters are fundamental in today’s food industry. The data obtained is essential to optimise the design, handling, processing and packaging of your products.

In this webinar, we discussed the basic properties of food and the impact Thermal Analysis has among industries and applications. Specifically, this webinar addresses the following techniques:

  • Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
  • Thermogravimetry (TGA)
  • Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA)
  • Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA)
