Particle size analysis of milk powder by laser diffraction

6 Feb 2023

In this application note, the Bettersizer 2600 is used to measure the particle size of different brands and types of milk powder. The effect of different production techniques and fat content on the particle size distribution of milk powder was investigated by selecting different brands of skimmed milk powder and full-fat powder.

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.
