Food NIR Spectrophotometry

FOOD NIR SPECTROPHOTOMETRY

ERRECI is pleased to announce its partnership in the Italian market with GrainSense, a company specialized in NIR spectroscopy for food analysis.

In 2014, the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland launched a project aimed at transforming traditional and bulky NIR spectrometers into a convenient portable format. The key innovation was the integration of a dedicated integrating sphere specifically designed for this type of sample, along with the development of a low-power, low-noise NIR photodetector capable of operating at room temperature.

GRAINSENSE LAB

The GrainSense Lab analyzer is based on patented technology and validated worldwide through an extensive calibration library developed by GrainSense to measure protein, moisture, oil, and carbohydrates in certified grain samples.

Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR) and a 360° integrating sphere, it delivers exceptionally accurate results.
Small Sample Size – Works even with limited sample quantities, with fast reading times
Accurate – Delivers highly reliable results
User-Friendly – Easy to use and clean, no moving parts subject to failure
Fast – Results in just a few seconds
Flexible – Suitable for any sample volume over 500 ml

OTHER AVAILABLE MODELS

GS GO ANALYZER

The GS Go is a portable grain analyzer powered by batteries and equipped with advanced NIR (Near Infrared) technology. It provides values for protein, moisture, oil, and carbohydrates in just a few seconds, requiring only a minimal sample.

GS COMBINE GSFLOW

Instant quality measurement of grains in combines and silos. The GS Combine analyzer was developed to monitor grain quality in real-time in environments where grain is actively flowing. When installed on a combine harvester, the GrainSense analyzer measures protein and moisture content online during harvesting.
