Particle morphology of wheat flour and gluten-free flour
11 Aug 2020In this application note, Malvern Panalytical utilizes morphologically-directed raman spectroscopy (MDRS), via the Morphologi 4-ID, to characterize starch and protein particles of three flour products. This technique allows particles to be differentiated by their chemical identity and subsequently characterized by size and shape.

Particle CharacterizationParticle characterization instruments are used to determine particle size distribution, shape, surface area, zeta potential, density and porosity of particles and materials. Multiple tecchniques are available for determining particle size, shape and count including dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser diffraction, electrozone (Coulter technique), imaging particle analysis and single particle optical sensing. Determine the density of your material with a gas pycnometer or examine its surface area and porosity with gas adsorption analyzers and mercury porosimeters.
