CLSM (Microstructural analysis by confocal microscopy) Real-time Scan

NIZO’s Q3/2024 Offer: CLSM Real-time Scan: Capture your product’s characteristics in one image

Effective food innovations need thorough characterisation of the food products under development. Currently, important market drivers include:

Clean label
Applying plant/alternative proteins
Reducing fat, sugar or salt
Ingredient flexibility
Sustainable process

All these needs will be met by NIZO’s Q3-2024 offer: CLSM Real-time Scan: Capture your product’s characteristics in one image.

CLSM (Microstructural analysis by confocal microscopy) is a powerful technique to visualize different ingredients in one image. It is a highly efficient approach to quickly scan and tackle stability issues, tailor mouthfeel, and optimise products and processes.

Identifying changes in the microstructure of your product is not only relevant to avoid product defects, but also to understand the mechanism during oral processing. This is crucial for understanding and tailoring mouthfeel attributes such as creaminess, powderiness, juiciness, and astringency. Analysing products with CLSM before, during, and after oral processing allows engineering of these attributes.
