Dairy

Creamy, smooth, spreadable goodness? We test that too!

How do you measure the firmness of cheese? Or the spreadability of cream cheese? How about that creamy mouth feel of a greek yogurt? For answers to these questions and more, the dairy industry replies on us for the best texture analysis products and support in the industry. We've worked with the dairy industry since 1989 and many of our fixtures have been specifically designed for testing dairy products.

We offer an extensive library of applications to help our dairy industry clients optimize their test methods based on the specific test objectives. In fact, our instruments have been the most cited in research posters involving texture analysis presented at the IFT Annual Meeting for at least the last ten years.

Dairy products are among the easiest of all foods to test! Many hundreds of dairy manufacturers use SMS' Texture Analyzers around the globe!

The difference between acceptable and not acceptable can be mission critical for our clients and can seriously impact whether they are meeting customer expectations. Our instruments are extensively deployed around the world testing every type of dairy product - from the most delicate yogurt to the hardest parmesan cheese - because of our precision and calibrated accuracy.

Dairy manufacturers constantly add new SKUs and brand extensions. They also adopt new formulations and ingredients all the time. Our instrument helps them design products that perfectly match their targeted textural behavior. Our instrument helps them make sure that every batch meets exacting quality control standards.

Flexibility. Among the many reasons our instruments are deployed so fully throughout the dairy industry is that they can easily pick up the subtle differences in some products, they can test almost any imaginable product, and they can even be deployed for peel strength of foil lids and the crush strength of product packaging.

"The instrument is a great bang for the buck and technical support from TTC is outstanding!"
