Recently, KPM Analytics has launched the first dual-purpose analyzer, Mixolab 300. It can objectively measure the properties of flour and dough, enabling millers and bakers to achieve more reliable quality control. With it, not only can customer complaints be avoided and costly waste reduced, but operational efficiency can also be significantly improved. ### 102 Years of Technical Precipitation! Mixolab Dough Mixing Tester Solves Baking Quality Problems #### Baking Quality Challenges to Be Addressed The baking industry occupies an important position in the food market, and various baked goods such as bread and cakes are deeply loved by consumers. With the improvement of living standards, consumers have increasingly strict requirements for the quality of baked products, paying attention not only to taste and appearance but also to nutritional components and freshness. For a long time, the quality control of baked products has mainly relied on employees' experience. In the traditional baking mode, employees judge the state of dough by their own feel and observation to determine the subsequent baking process. However, this method has great limitations. The experience and skill levels of different employees vary, and their subjective judgment standards for dough are also different. Even if employees are skilled, it is difficult to ensure the stable quality of each batch of products. In the baking process, differences in the origin and batch of flour, as well as changes in environmental temperature and humidity, will affect the properties of the dough. It is difficult to accurately respond to these variables relying solely on experience, leading to fluctuations in product quality. At the same time, bakeries are also facing many problems. The increase in customer complaints requires more manpower and energy to handle, affecting the normal operating order. Severe raw material waste increases production costs. Low operational efficiency puts enterprises at a disadvantage in market competition. These problems have become bottlenecks restricting the development of the baking industry, and there is an urgent need for a scientific and accurate quality control method. The market is in urgent need of a device that can objectively and accurately measure the properties of flour and dough to achieve stable control of baked product quality. Against this backdrop, KPM Analytics, relying on its profound accumulation in the field of food testing and analysis, began the research and development of dough mixing testers. #### Dual Modes Break Through Analytical Limitations Mixolab 300 is uniquely designed with a liquid-sealed mixing bowl, a wider funnel, and an improved dough introduction chamber. These designs give it strong compatibility, enabling it to analyze all types of dough and liquid batters, from bread dough to cake and wafer batters. Whether it is dense bread dough or soft cake batter, Mixolab 300 can handle it accurately. Mixolab 300 has two different dough testing modes: - The first is the "Instant Consistency" testing mode, which is efficient and fast, capable of providing quality control data in just a few minutes. For the time-critical production monitoring环节 on the production line, this ability to obtain data quickly is crucial, allowing operators to grasp the dough quality in a timely manner and ensure production stability and product quality consistency. - The second mode is the "Comprehensive Test" mode, which focuses on analyzing the interaction of ingredients when the temperature changes. During the baking process, temperature changes can trigger complex chemical reactions between ingredients such as flour, salt, yeast, fat, sugar, and improvers. The "Comprehensive Test" mode can deeply explore these reactions, providing detailed data support for researchers and new product developers, making it an ideal choice for research and new product development. For a long time, relying solely on flour analysis to predict baking performance has had many problems. Because the final quality of baked products depends not only on flour but also on the interaction of many other ingredients. Mixolab 300 overcomes this limitation by comprehensively analyzing flour and dough, taking into account the reactions between various ingredients. #### About KPM Analytics KPM Analytics has been deeply engaged in the food industry for 102 years.
