The increasing popularity of steviol glycosides as low-calorie sweeteners requires standardized analytical methodologies for reliable quality and stability assessment. Moisture content is a critical determinant of rebaudioside M shelf life, and its quantification via oven-based sample preparation coupled with volumetric Karl Fischer titration provides a precise and reproducible approach. Integration with automated systems such as the 874 Oven Sample Processor further enhances analytical throughput and operational efficiency.

Corn starch serves as a gelling and thickening agent in the confectionary industry. It is also an ideal reusable molding and drying medium for starch-molded candies, where its moisture content is critical to monitor. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) provides a rapid, reagent-free method to determine moisture and protein content in corn starch. The technique is straightforward to operate and suitable for atline monitoring or routine quality control laboratories.

OMNIS Client/Server boosts business performance with scalable server management, cutting costs by reducing hardware, energy use, and maintenance across locations.

This study presents the automatic titration of low sulfite levels in beet crystal sugar using an OMNIS Titrator and a Pt Titrode as the potentiometric sensor.

This study shows how NIR spectroscopy simultaneously measures capsaicin content, Scoville Heat Units, water activity, ASTA color, and ash content in paprika powder samples.
