Continuous monitoring of a production process allows it to be stopped at the optimal moment, reducing overprocessing and, therefore, the possible negative impact on these characteristics, minimizing damage to nutrients. Additionally, our technology also allows us to reduce energy consumption and the ecological footprint.<\/p>\n<p>Systems have been developed to continuously monitor, ie., in situ and detect the optimum production end-point: a) of yogurts monitoring the pH, b) of cheeses monitoring the firmness of the gel and\/or syneresis (whey drainage), and c ) of meat emulsions anticipating cooking losses inline (weight reduction). On the other hand, our technology allows to control changes in the raw material, such as due to thermal treatments, or on their technological characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>All these systems allow their use at the laboratory level, as well as inline, incorporated in industrial equipment. Our technology is safe, cheap, fast, sensitive and versatile. In addition, as a PAT, it facilitates decision-making at real time, allowing processing conditions to be rectified or modified during production.<\/p>\n<p>The fiber optic sensor laboratory has six miniature UV\/VIS\/NIR spectrophotometers, a benchtop spectrofluorometer, numerous and varied optical fibers, light sources, filters, polarizers, detectors, three temperature-controlled measurement cuvettes, a CoAguLab , a FluorLite-CoAguLab, several sensors and prototypes, different optical data acquisition systems, two portable programmable logic controllers (PLC) for inline monitoring with optical sensors, and custom software to identify relevant optical parameters.<\/p>\n<p>Our technology is aimed at the agri-food processing industries that require to optimize processes in terms of nutritional, technological and organoleptic quality of the final product, as well as in terms of energy consumption.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=\u00bbfull_width_content\u00bb full_screen_row_position=\u00bbmiddle\u00bb equal_height=\u00bbyes\u00bb content_placement=\u00bbmiddle\u00bb full_height=\u00bbyes\u00bb columns_placement=\u00bbstretch\u00bb scene_position=\u00bbcenter\u00bb text_color=\u00bbdark\u00bb text_align=\u00bbleft\u00bb overlay_strength=\u00bb0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=\u00bbbottom\u00bb bg_image_animation=\u00bbnone\u00bb][vc_column column_padding=\u00bbno-extra-padding\u00bb column_padding_position=\u00bball\u00bb background_color_opacity=\u00bb1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=\u00bb1&#8243; background_image=\u00bb6890&#8243; column_link_target=\u00bb_self\u00bb column_shadow=\u00bbnone\u00bb column_border_radius=\u00bbnone\u00bb width=\u00bb1\/4&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=\u00bbdefault\u00bb tablet_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb phone_text_alignment=\u00bbdefault\u00bb&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6920","page","type-page","status-publish"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.8 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Optical systems Optical systems for monitoring and optimizing continuous production processes Manufacturing processes can reduce the nutritional and organoleptic quality of food.
