[Infrared Moisture Measurement Case Study] Measured the moisture content of candy and caramel.
Measuring the moisture content of samples that are sweet, high-temperature, and meltable requires a bit of ingenuity.
Here is a case study of measuring candy and caramel using the infrared moisture meter "FD-720." Sweet samples, meaning those with high sugar content, tend to burn quickly when exposed to high temperatures. The burnt parts form a film that makes it difficult for moisture to evaporate, trapping moisture inside and preventing accurate overall moisture measurement. On the other hand, at low temperatures, moisture evaporates slowly, and if there is no change in mass, the infrared moisture meter mistakenly assumes the measurement is complete, so some ingenuity is required here as well. An effective method is to utilize the "Step Drying Mode" feature of the infrared moisture meters FD-720/800. By appropriately selecting the drying mode, moisture can be evaporated while drying without burning. [Case Summary] ■ Candy: 1 piece (approximately 4g): Step Drying Mode - STEP1/115℃, 5min - STEP2: 110℃/AUTO 0.05%, 2.55% (8 minutes) ■ Caramel: 1 piece (approximately 5g): Step Drying Mode - STEP1/115℃, 5min - STEP2: 115℃/AUTO 0.05%, 5.80% (17.5 minutes) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Measuring instruments help to clearly understand the exact size, scale, condition, and properties of things that we want to know but cannot ascertain. For example, they can measure the microscopic world that is beyond human perception or determine the composition of formless substances. They capture the target accurately and instantly, presenting the information we want to confirm in an easy-to-understand manner. This is essential for maintaining and managing quality, improving safety and economic efficiency, and conducting fair transactions. Measuring instruments perform a crucial role as indispensable tools in any situation where accuracy is required. Many products are adopted as standard measuring instruments in Japan and are useful in various fields. We consider measuring instruments to be an extension of our five senses and continue to provide reliable answers in the form of products, addressing the theme of measurement one by one.
