A manufacturer of sausages with a daily production of 10 tons will, when installing FoodScan, typically be able to experience an improved earnings in his production of minimum EUR 35.000, resulting from better raw material utilization. On top comes then benefits from being able to supply more consistent final product quality.

FoodScan™ Meat Analyser

Improved efficiency and consistency in the meat industry

FoodScan™ Meat Analyser is a fast, accurate and easy to use instrument for analysing all stages of meat production - from checking incoming raw material to final product control. It is pre-calibrated to analyse all key parameters including fat analysis, moisture analysis, protein analysis, salt analysis and collagen analysis delivering results in just 50 seconds.

Approved

Officially approved meat analysis

FoodScan™ has received AOAC approval for the analysis of moisture, fat, and protein in meat and meat products
The approval allows food producers to exploit the leading meat analytical solution with full confidence in an officially approved method

FoodScan™ has received AOAC approval for the analysis of moisture, fat, and protein in meat and meat products using FOSS artificial neural network (ANN) prediction models. The method number is 2007-04.

The approval allows food producers to exploit the leading meat analytical solution with full confidence in an officially approved method.

Collaborative study
The approval is based on a collaborative study conducted to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of the FOSS FoodScan NIR spectrophotometer with ANN calibration model and database for the determination of fat, moisture and protein in meat and meat products.
The ground samples were put in a sample dish and placed in the FoodScan. The operator ID was entered, the meat product profile within the software was selected and the scanning process initiated by pressing the start button. Results were displayed for % (g/100g) fat, moisture and protein. Ten blind duplicate samples were sent to 15 collaborators in the United States. The within-laboratory RSDr (repeatability) ranged from 0.22 to 2.67% for fat, 0.23 to 0.92% for moisture and 0.35 to 2.13% for protein. The between-laboratory RSDR (reproducibility) ranged from 0.52 to 6.89%for fat, 0.39 to 1.55% for moisture and 0.54 to 5.23% for protein.

FoodScan is easy to use and can be operated by anyone. See how easy it is in this video.

Artificial Neural network(ANN)

ANN plug and play calibration

FoodScan is equipped with an ANN calibration making FoodScan a “plug & play” solution. It is ready to run immediately – no need for gathering many samples required for a typical PLS calibration. The ANN calibration covers nearly all type of meat and meat products, from raw meat to finished products.

RINA

Monitoring and support via the internet

The FoodScan Meat Analyser and other NIR technology-based instruments are supported by the RINA software suite. This provides an internet-based network connecting individual instruments to a control centre. NIR experts at the centre perform monitoring and management tasks remotely, allowing the local user to get on with routine analysis operations without having to worry about instrument performance or reliability of results.
