Transform your food & beverage lab processes with Labman’s advanced technological solutions.

Precision formulation solutionsLabman excels in providing precision formulation solutions for the food and beverage industry, employing advanced technologies like gravimetric dispensing systems and precision liquid handling. Our formulation processes include intricate standardization and titration techniques, ensuring precise ingredient dosing and mixing for the development of high-quality formulations that adhere to stringent standards.

Comprehensive characterization techniquesLabman offers comprehensive characterization techniques for food and beverage products, integrating advanced analytical instruments such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), mass spectrometry, and more. Our sensory analysis involves rigorous profiling, while our analytical testing expertise encompasses standard methods for moisture content, pH, and other critical parameters, allowing for an in-depth understanding and optimization of product characteristics.

Stability testingWe're experts in stability testing, helping our clients to utilise accelerated aging studies and controlled environmental conditions with our technologies. Our stability testing projects often involve advanced analytical techniques, including gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), to identify potential degradation factors. These meticulous approaches allow for formulation adjustments and ensure the reliability and extended shelf-life of food and beverage products.

Recipe developmentLabman's custom projects are perfect for recipe development, often incorporating advanced instrumentation into an automated workflow, and funnelling the resultant data seamlessly into wider advanced statistical models for data scientists. We collaborate closely with clients to ensure that their exacting standards and workflows are accomodated, employing standard tests for nutritional analysis, sensory evaluation, and quality assurance. This ensures that the final product not only aligns with taste profiles but also meets nutritional requirements and regulatory standards.

Rheometry, viscometry, FTIR? We can integrate almost any instrument.Labman provides integrated access to advanced analytical instruments for detailed product analysis in the food and beverage industry. Our instrumentation can include instruments such as fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) for molecular characterization, viscometers and rheometers for texture analysis. These state-of-the-art tools aid in precise characterization and quality control, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of product properties.
