🌱 Innovating Plant-Based Yogurts with High-Pressure Homogenization! 🌟 Recent research demonstrates how high-pressure homogenization (HPH) transforms potato protein isolate (PPI) into yogurt alternatives, meeting demands for both low-fat and Greek-style options.  By refining particle size, HPH enhances emulsion whiteness, texture, and stability—no artificial stabilizers needed. Using a "bottom-up" approach, these clean-label solutions deliver improved gel uniformity and water retention. Key insights: 🔹 Flexibility: Handles a wide oil-content range. 🔹 Whiteness & Texture: Boosted significantly under high pressures. 🔹 Industrial Potential: Scalable for diverse dairy-free products. The LUMiSizer played a vital role in analyzing phase stability, supporting the creation of innovative, sustainable products.

🌱 Exploring the Science Behind Plant-Based Drinks 🥤 The demand for plant-based beverages is skyrocketing, but did you know that plant-based beverages display instability phenomena up to 14 times faster compared to cow's milk? This is due to their unique colloidal nature, which makes sedimentation, creaming, and phase separation common challenges. To tackle this, advanced analytical techniques are essential. The authors Patra, Rinnan and Olsen opted for the LUMiFuge in order to perform an accelerated evaluation of phase separation, providing crucial data to optimize the present formulations without compromising clean-label demands. By leveraging analytical methods like particle size analysis, rheology, and spectroscopy, the industry can create stable, natural, and consumer-friendly products while embracing the plant-based revolution.

🔬 Unlocking Filter Media Insights with Advanced Particle Analysis Filter media performance is critical for industries like pharmaceuticals and nanotechnology. In our latest study (published in the F&S Global Guide 2024-2026), we explored how different filters behave under real-world conditions using the LUMiSpoc® analyzer and SPLS Technology®. 🔍 Key findings: Despite identical nominal pore sizes (450 nm), filters made from Cellulose and Nylon showed very different retention behaviors. Real-world Titanium Dioxide suspensions highlighted the precision of SPLS in analyzing particle retention and separation efficiency. 💡 Why does it matter? With increasing demand for precision in nanotechnology and liquid processing, understanding how filters perform at a particle level is essential for quality assurance and design optimization. SPLS Technology® provides the data needed to make informed decisions. 📖 Read more in The F& S Global Guide 2024-2026 (pp. 110–115). #LUM #LUMGmbH #LUMiSpoc #SPLSTechnology #Filtration #ParticleAnalysis #Nanotechnology #Innovation #FilterTesting

🌱 Advancing Plant-Based Frozen Desserts! ❄️ Recent research into plant-based frozen dessert formulations has provided valuable insights into optimizing texture, stability, and taste while addressing ingredient variability. Using advanced analytical techniques, Caleb Wagner and his team at AGROPUR explored key factors like protein stability, emulsification, and sensory characteristics to enhance product quality. The LUMiSizer played a vital role in evaluating emulsion separation rates and mix viscosity under varying conditions, supporting a deeper understanding of ingredient behavior in non-dairy formulations. This work showcases the exciting progress in creating sustainable and innovative food solutions for the future. 🌍 The presentation is availabe via: https://buff.ly/4fN6T2l #LUM #LUMGmbH #LUMiSizer #PlantBasedInnovation #FoodTechnology #Sustainability #FrozenDesserts #Vegan #IceCream

🌱 The Science of Plant-Based Milks: New Insights 🌱   Our paper of the week is a study by McClements et al., which examines the intricate science behind plant-based milk alternatives. Published in Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, the review covers essential factors in making plant-based milks comparable to dairy, from achieving the right texture and nutritional profile to ensuring long-term stability.   The study details two main production methods: disrupting plant materials like nuts and seeds to create oil-based suspensions and using emulsifiers to stabilize oil-water blends. Each approach brings unique challenges in mimicking dairy's creamy mouthfeel and nutrient balance.   Precise stability testing with the LUMiFuge revealed the importance of ingredient selection, such as plant oils and proteins, to improve consistency and prevent separation—an ongoing focus as plant-based alternatives evolve.   We’re proud to contribute in a way to science that advances sustainable and nutritious food options for everyone.   Read more: https://bit.ly/4fruS76   #LUMGmbH #LUM #LUMiFuge #PlantBased #FoodScience #Sustainability #Innovation #AlternativeProteins #FoodTech

In our study of the week, Stübler et al. investigated how preservation technologies like thermal processing, pulsed electric field (PEF), and high-pressure processing (HPP) affect the stability and digestibility of protein-rich kale juice, a.o. when blended with polyphenol-rich strawberry. 🍓   🔑 Takeaways: · Adding strawberry altered the protein solubility in kale juice, creating unique polyphenol-protein interactions that shifted with each preservation method. · Thermal and PEF processing reduced protein solubility, while HPP maintained it. Mixing kale with strawberry increased particle size and sedimentation rates, showing how formulations can impact beverage stability. · Digestibility boosted antioxidant release, especially during the gastric phase of digestion, highlighting potential health benefits. · Kale’s proteins are highly digestible, but the strawberry-kale mix slowed protein breakdown due to polyphenol interactions.   Using the LUMiSizer, Stübler et al. analyzed sedimentation rates and particle distribution under different conditions, revealing how plant-based proteins and polyphenols interact.   Read more: https://bit.ly/4fbjqfQ   #LUM #LUMGmbH #HPP #PEF #FoodScience #PlantBased #FoodInnovation #FoodResearch #ProteinResearch #SustainableNutrition
