The new grating rig is used in conjunction with Stable Micro Systems’ TA.XT plus texture analyser and allows manufacturers to scientifically measure ‘shredability’ and ‘sliceability’, as well as identify the most appropriate ingredients for their end product.
Stable Micro Systems’ new creation comprises a grating platform with interchangeable grating faces and a sample block holder, which acts as a sample template and holds the sample in place.
“In food manufacturing, it’s vital that ingredients can be processed smoothly and effectively,” said Stable Micro Systems applications manager Jo Smewing. “Our new grating rig allows manufacturers to test many types of cheese, for example, the results of which can help guide research and development plans, optimise processing parameters and inform and facilitate quality control.”
