Analysis Solutions for the Food Chain

As part of their market solutions effort, Xylem (USA) and their portfolio of proven analytics brands provide a range of analytical instrumentation that addresses the needs of the food supply chain. 

Helping to deliver safe, consistent and quality food products from seed to supermarket shelf, Xylem’s food safety and quality control instruments span across the food and beverage cycle: monitoring the water we use to irrigate the crops grown in the field; within the production and cold-chain distribution processes; finally displayed to consumers at supermarkets and restaurants throughout the world.

Quality control, food safety and efficient processing are paramount at every stage whether manufacturing beverages, confectionery, oils, flavours, sauces, soups or simply supplying fresh foodstuff to the consumer. And Xylem helps to satisfy those needs.

Xylem’s SI Analytics brand of premium quality laboratory meters provides measurement of key parameters such as pH, conductivity, turbidity and temperature in the production process. Likewise, Xylem’s OI Analytical brand of GC detectors is commonly used to analyse a number of raw materials for authenticity as well as to ensure pesticide residues are kept within specified limits.

As a result of the rapid read-time capability, Xylem’s YSI brand 2900 Biochemistry Analyzer can be found in a number of specialist applications where sugar blend ratios require low level concentration control, such as within the potato chip and tomato processing arenas, with results being furnished accurately, easily, and in less than a minute.
