Conformity testing in milk powders with ProxiScout
8 Oct 2025Milk powder adulteration, especially with urea, poses serious risks to food safety, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance. Traditional detection methods are slow, destructive, and require lab infrastructure, making rapid screening a challenge.
Discover how spectral fingerprinting and conformity index algorithms enable fast, non-destructive detection of adulterants using advanced near-infrared (NIR) technology.

Near Infrared SpectroscopyNear-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy measures the interaction of near-infrared light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance and absorbance, facilitating the identification of analytes. Measurements can be conducted using a Fourier-transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectrometer, while there are also UV-Vis- NIR spectrophotometers that measure a broader spectrum of wavelengths.
