Moisture and ash determination in flour

In this application note, Verder Scientific shows how to determine moisture and ash in flour using an ELTRA analyzer. ELTRA’s TGA Thermostep is a thermogravimetric analyzer which determines various parameters such as moisture, volatiles and ash at user-defined temperatures and atmospheres in a single analysis. Thermogravimetry is a standard method to analyze organic, inorganic and synthetic materials. Thermogravimetric analysis in general means the measurement of the weight loss during a user-defined temperature or heating process.
