Online ice crystal size measurements during sorbet freezing by means of the focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM) technology. Influence of operating conditions

Characterization of ice recrystallization in ice cream during storage using the focused beam reflectance measurement

“…Thus, it can be useful to have a more automated measurement technique able to provide results faster. This can be done with the focused beam reflectance measurement (FBRM), a real time method of counting and sizing which application in food processes is not very widespread and is still innovative (Arellano et al, 2012;Ndoye et al, 2013). The FBRM technology returned chord length distributions (CLD) based on light backscattering using a revolving laser beam.…”

In situ CHARACTERISATION OF PALM OLEIN CRYSTALLISATION BEHAVIOUR BY FOCUSED BEAM REFLECTANCE MEASUREMENT (FBRM)

“…The Focused Beam Reflectance Measurement (FBRM) is a well-established method which has found extensive usage in online and in situ particle characterisation within the pharmaceutical and fine chemicals (Kougoulos et al, 2005;Nagy et al, 2008;Saleemi et al, 2012), food (Haddad Amamou et al, 2010;Arellano et al, 2012;Ndoye et al, 2013;Ndoye and Alvarez, 2015) and biotechnology industries (McDonald et al, 2001;Pearson et al, 2003;Jeffers et al, 2003;Whelan et al, 2012). This technique operates on the principle of laser backscattering wherein a laser beam scans in a circular path at a fixed speed through a probe immersed in the solution under study.…”

In-line characterization of a whey protein aggregation process: Aggregates size and rheological measurements

“…This inclination allows the renewal of the flux near the probe window. Arellano et al (2012) has compared the FBRM probe used in this work with an IA method using Polyamid Seeding Particles (PSP) of known mean diameter. Very good agreement was found between the Sauter mean chord lengths obtained by FBRM measurements and those given by IA.…”
