Scientific and Research Activities of the Laboratory

 

 

  • In the field of thermic analysis of food and food ingredients – using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential compensatory calorimetry (DSC) the experiments were conducted to describe thermal degradation processes, phase change studies, determination of water content and ash content in samples of edible vegetable oils  (olive, sunflower and rapeseed) and bread paste (classic and with additives),
  • in the field of thermal analyzes of technical materials – experimental investigation and description of thermal behavior of technical materials of biological origin (biofuel and biolubricants) by DSC method, especially determination of solidification point and temperature stability,
  • in the area of ​​investigation of rheological properties of liquid, viscoelastic, thixotropic foodstuffs, food sources and technical liquids – densities, viscosity and fluidity measurements of samples of edible vegetable oils, selected samples of wine and milk, technical liquids (cooling and hydraulic fluids),
  • in the field of the examination of the electrical properties of foodstuffs and food ingredients – measurements of electrical properties were carried out in relation to drying characteristics on samples of cereals, carrots and perga,
  • research of postharvest processing of selected cereal species (food maize, food wheat, naked oat,malted barley,…),
  • monitoring of external qualitative grain indicators from the point of view of harvesting and postharvest processing, focusing on the quality and safety of food produced from grains,
  • research of the characteristics of postharvest residues resulting from the cultivation, harvesting and postharvesting grain process,
  • evaluation of the crop and the subsequent eradication of wheat in laboratory conditions,
  • investigation of the impact of postharvest grain processing and storage technology on the external and internal quality of maize; the object of the research was maize processed on a model catch line, including the identification of critical points on the catch line that most influence the quality of the processed product and the establishment of measures to reduce the impact of critical points for product quality.
