1016

Welcome to the October issue and 2016’s Power List, which showcases the Top 50 most influential women in analytical science, as nominated by our readers. Our Upfront section covers the forensics of fragrance and the latest collaborations and product launches, as well as asking whether early land plants enabled our very existence. We have opinion pieces on single cell analysis and unlocking the sample prep black box. And finally, in Sitting Down With, Emily Hilder talks to us about her passions, and predictions for the future of the field.

Dairy and Food Emulsions measurement

09/30/2016 | Sponsored by Malvern Panalytical

The particle size of the fat droplets present in dairy and other food emulsions is important in defining properties such as flavor release, mouth feel and emulsion stability. Thus, a knowledge of the particle size is critical in defining the functionality and taste of different food emulsion products. Here we show how laser diffraction can be used to measure and understand the changes in size that occur during production and storage of dairy products. This in turn can lead to a better understanding of how product formulation and performance are linked.

The optimization and scale-up of high shear granulation

09/30/2016 | Sponsored by Malvern Panalytical

This article explains how an inline probe was used to monitor a granulation at three different scales to confirm that, in each case, the granules produced were the same size, and more importantly produced tablets of identical quality as quantified by hardness.
