We are excited to announce the launch of the new raw milk bacterial count measurement device, 'BactoScan5'!! Since introducing the groundbreaking first-generation BactoScan in 1980, FOSS has been at the forefront of the milk quality revolution. This technology is based on the measurement of "Individual Bacterial Count (IBCIBC)" to accurately assess the hygienic quality of raw milk. The first-generation BactoScan set a new standard for rapid and accurate bacterial count measurement, paving the way for improved milk quality and food safety. For decades, BactoScan has established itself as the industry standard, obtaining all major official certifications and being implemented in over 1,000 units worldwide. Continuing this tradition, BactoScan5 further enhances the efficiency of raw milk testing. >> For those who would like detailed information, please download it from the product page or contact FOSS Japan.

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

All dietary fibers, applicable to all enzymatic methods for soluble and insoluble dietary fibers, can also be used for sample processing for colorimetric analysis and chromatographic analysis. ■ Complies with official methods ■ Compatible with Prosky method and HPLC method ■ Simultaneous rapid filtration of 6 samples ■ Elimination of time and effort The phrase "Dietary fiber XXg" or "Let's regulate our stomach with dietary fiber" has become increasingly visible in various places due to health consciousness. Seaweeds, mushrooms, and vegetables have long been recognized as foods high in dietary fiber, but in recent years, new soluble dietary fibers, such as resistant starch, which do not affect taste or texture, have also been widely used in processed foods and beverages. Dietary fiber analysis requires simulating human digestion through physicochemical analysis, resulting in residual precipitates, which has historically given the impression that "the analysis process is complex and time-consuming." Samples must always be prepared in pairs, with one residual used for ash measurement and the other for protein measurement, making it a challenging analysis for testers. The FiberTech 1023 system is an analytical device designed to reduce these labor efforts and conduct efficient analyses. For more details, please check the product page.

At Marutsune Co., Ltd., which manufactures and sells tofu in Chiryu City, Aichi Prefecture, we have introduced FOSS analysis equipment to confirm the components of the raw materials, soybeans and soy milk. 【Natural agricultural products are never the same】 Understanding the protein and moisture content of raw soybeans at all times is essential, so we have introduced the non-destructive and rapid near-infrared measurement device, Infratec NOVA, for component analysis of soybeans. This is reflected in the tofu preparation conditions. 【Rapid measurement of protein and total solids】 The Milkoscan Mars is a rapid component testing device for raw milk, with calibration curves for protein, fat, total solids, and non-fat solids, which we have applied to the soy milk testing used in tofu production. This has clarified the protein and total solids content of the soy milk produced daily, allowing for confirmation of the optimal protein amount before adding coagulants. [Measurement Results Example] Soy Milk A, Protein = 6.25%, Total Solids = 14.2% Soy Milk B, Protein = 6.12%, Total Solids = 14.6% ■ Component analysis device for raw material acceptance: Infratec/NOVA ■ Analysis of important soy milk components for tofu production: Milkoscan Mars ■ Higher model of soy milk/raw milk analysis device: Milkoscan FT1
