AlphatecTM FNO Grain and flour analysis based on the falling number method AlphatecTM FNO gives grain receivers a safe and modern way of performing the standard falling number test that is used to check sprouting damage in grain and enzyme-activity in flour prior to baking, malting etc. Wheat, rye, barley, sorghum, flour and any samples requiring falling number analysis in compliance with international standards Weather damage and alpha-amylase and related enzyme activity and starch properties in grain and flour Dedicated Analytical Solutions

Avoiding steam and hot surfaces or liquids AlphatecTM FNO gives grain receivers a safe and modern way to perform the standard test for alpha-amylase and enzyme activity in grain and flour. FNO offers a modern and competitively-priced alternative to existing solutions backed by a unique level of customer support for smooth and uninterrupted analytical operations. Based on extensive FOSS experience with automation of laboratory analysis, the new FOSS Alphatec FNO analyser includes features such as a cooling lid that minimises a rush of steam when loading samples, helping avoid potential injury....

Technology The standard falling number is an important test for measuring the soundness of traded grain. The test is based on the alphaamylase enzyme activity in grains which helps to spot sprouting damage. It is also important for optimising flour enzyme activity to ensure final product quality of bread, pasta, noodles and malt. managed. Alphatec FNO has carefully designed openings to the water bath to help direct potentially scalding steam away from the hands of operators. In addition, the metal water bath has been placed in an insulated case to ensure that external surfaces are safe to touch....
