Thermal analysis of food
Thermal analysis techniques measure the physical and chemical properties of foods as a function of temperature or time.
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
Differential scanning calorimetry is widely used in the food industry to measure the melting/crystallisation behaviour of fats, denaturation of proteins or the gelatinisation properties of starches. The degree of cook of starches or starch-based products and specific heat capacity of foods and raw materials can also be measured by DSC.
