We hope to continue providing useful information and proposals for everyone in the future. ■ Seminar Schedule: - Introduction to the basic principles of NIR and the instruments, from tabletop to inline types - Case studies of the inline analysis instrument ProFoss2 - Application Edition (Grain/Feed sector) - The evolution of the new automatic distillation titration instrument KT9 and the advantages of the solvent extraction instrument ST8000 *For more details, please check the PDF.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new inline X-ray meat measurement device, "Meat Master Flex"!! It may not be widely known that many imported block meats are inspected through the Meat Master series and sorted by fat content (lean meat ratio) before being imported. However, specifying the fat content (lean meat ratio) for procurement means that quality is ensured through inspection equipment. The FLEX is a dedicated machine for ground meat, which grinds the imported block meat and conducts a full inspection. This allows for real-time confirmation of the fat content (lean meat ratio) not only for the batch but also at the midpoint within that batch. If this leads to a 1-2% improvement in yield, you can imagine how directly it could impact annual profit margins. FOSS has prepared simulations that make it easy to calculate these improvements. >> If you are interested, please contact FOSS Japan. TEL: 03-5962-4811 / MAIL: info@foss.co.jp

Our company, FOSS Japan, is the exclusive distributor in Japan for Charm Sciences, Inc. (CS). We sell various screening kits to ensure the safety of food ingredients.

At FOSS Japan, we have planned a webinar to introduce the Kjeltec 9, the successor to the Kjeltec 8000 series, which was recently released, and to showcase the equipment. The Kjeldahl method is certified as a standard method in Japan for the analysis of protein and nitrogen content in agricultural products, general foods, pharmaceuticals, soil, fertilizers, and water quality. While manual analysis using laboratory instruments continues, there has been an increasing trend towards the use of automatic distillation and titration devices to enhance speed and minimize contact with hazardous reagents. The Kjeltec 9 was released last year as the successor to the Kjeltec 8000 series. In addition to the safety features carried over from the 8000 series, various improvements have been made to provide a more user-friendly interface for our customers.

We held a seminar to introduce the FoodScan 2, one of FOSS's nutritional analysis devices, featuring live demonstrations that covered specific applications, simple measurement techniques, and actual sample measurements. Since April 2022, it has become mandatory to display nutritional information on the packaging of processed foods and additives for consumers. While it is allowed to display calculated values (estimated values) based on the mixing ratios of raw materials and reference nutritional tables, recalculating based on slightly varying formulations during the product development stage is very labor-intensive and burdensome for workers. Recent technological innovations in near-infrared (NIR) analysis have addressed these issues, providing a measurement device that allows anyone to quickly measure the quantities of each component. Thank you very much for your participation! If you would like the seminar materials, please contact FOSS Japan. >> Phone: 03-5962-4811 Email: info@foss.co.jp

We are pleased to announce that Foss Japan has organized a webinar to introduce the semi-automatic filtration system "Fibertec 1023" for measuring dietary fiber, which complies with official methods such as the Prosky method.
