Effect of Particle Size on Void Fraction
The void fraction, an important powder packing property, has a direct impact on many of the powder physical characteristics and applications. In order to demonstrate how the variation in powder particle size affects its packing property, this application note illustrates the true density, skeletal d...
Exploring Chocolate Density Changes: From Warm to Chilly, From Bitter to Sweet
This study highlights the importance of true density analysis in the optimization of chocolate manufacturing. It reveals a consistent pattern of density variations across chocolates with different cocoa content, no matter if it's sweltering or freezing. The BetterPyc 380 gas pycnometer is here to as...
Evaluating Water-Soluble Chitosan Molecular Weight with the BeSEC
Abstract: Chitosan molecular weight plays a critical role in determining its functional performance across food, pharmaceutical, and environmental applications. In this study, size-exclusion chromatography coupled with static light scattering and refractive index detection was used to evaluate the a...
