Alphatec™ FNO gives grain receivers and flour millers a safe and modern way of performing the standard falling number test that is used to check sprouting damage in grain and enzyme-activity in flour prior to baking, malting etc.

Avoiding steam and hot surfaces or liquids Tailored sample preparation with Hammertec AlphatecTM FNO gives grain receivers and flour millers a safe and modern way to perform the standard test for alpha-amylase and enzyme activity in grain and flour. The FOSS Hammertec is a hammer type mill specially designed for falling number analysis. Built with a focus on the user, the Hammertec makes hammer mill operations quieter by at least 1.5 dB compared to existing solutions. It is also smaller and lighter than older mills and its innovative design helps to avoid sample carry-over, ensuring more...

Technology Falling number is an important test for measuring the soundness of traded grain. The test is based on the alpha-amylase enzyme activity in grains which helps to spot sprouting damage. It is also important for optimising flour enzyme activity to ensure final product quality of bread, pasta, noodles and malt. Equipment and method In conformance with recognised methods, Alphatec™ FNO consists of a boiling water bath and a system for inserting up to two sample tubes into the bath. The sample tubes are placed in the boiling water bath, the starch begins to gelatinise and the slurry...
