The dairy industry depends largely on the accurate analytical data of the milk and milk products to control dairy process chain and specification to maintain quality and meet standards. Innovation in analytical technology over the past few decades has led to many new opportunities to control the dairy manufacturing process for improved profit and quality.
IndiFOSS is a leading Indian company that brings the world’s most trusted analytical solutions to the dairy industry. Machine Maker spoke to Mr. Mehul Panchal, Zonal Manager, IndiFOSS Analytical Private Limited on how the company has been delivering value to the dairy industry.
Set up in 2013 IndiFOSS Analytical started its journey as an associate company of FOSS, Denmark, the global leader of analytical instruments for dairies. Based in Ahmadabad, Gujarat, IndiFOSS supplies FOSS analytical products for a wide range of milk and milk products such as raw milk, consumable milk, butter, milk powder, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream.
“Almost 87 percent of the world’s total milk production is tested on FOSS testing instruments”, Mehul informs. “Our versatile range of analytical product solutions has been designed to give rapid access to accurate data throughout the process control and end product specification. With this information, dairies can make the best possible use of valuable resources and supply high-quality products as per customers’ expectations.”
The solutions are available for all types and sizes of dairy production: from efficient laboratory instruments for smaller dairies to state-of-the-art multi-parameter technological analysis using Near-Infrared Technology (NIR) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR).
For larger production facilities its sophisticated in-line process solutions continuously measure material directly in the process stream. Easy to install and maintain, these solutions are finely calibrated according to international standards and can withstand even the most demanding production environment.
On the other hand, at-line analysers are designed for use in smaller production lines and provide rapid and accurate sample measurements. These smaller instruments are designed to meet the needs of smaller plants by being easy to operate, clean and maintain.
FOSS dairy solutions can test for all compositions of milk such as Fat, Protein, Lactose, Total Solids, Solids-non-Fat, Casein, Urea, Density, Freezing Point Depression, Sucrose, Fructose, Glucose, Galactose, Total Sugar, lactic Sugar, Lactic Acid, Citric Acids, Free Fatty Acids, Saturated and Unsaturated Fatty Acids, Salt, Moisture and Screening for Abnormal Milk (Untargeted and target adulterants) in just 30 seconds.
Other than dairy, IndiFOSS also delivers analytical solutions to the food industry. In 2016 IndiFOSS joined hands with Shenzhen Bioeasy Biotechnology Co. Ltd, PRC which is engaged in food safety, clinical diagnosis, public safety, and other fields.
IndiFOSS instruments help the dairy and food industry to be highly accurate, comply with relevant regulations and meet all hygiene standards. But the value that the company delivers is beyond.
