Heated Stories: What DSC Reveals About Food Products

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) offers unique insights into the thermal behavior of food systems, revealing how composition, structure, and processing influence quality and stability.

In this webinar, we explore how DSC helps characterize fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and complex food matrices through their thermal signatures.

Key topics covered:

Melting and crystallization of fats:

  • Characterizing polymorphism, solid fat content, and melting profiles in oils, chocolate, and dairy products

Protein denaturation and stability:

  • Assessing thermal transitions in proteins and their relation to texture, functionality, and processing conditions

Water interactions and glass transition (Tg):

  • Understanding moisture effects, freeze stability, and amorphous phase behavior in dried and frozen foods

Starch gelatinization and retrogradation:

  • Monitoring structural changes during heating and storage, critical for texture and shelf life.
     

Practical DSC workflows:

  • Sample preparation, pan selection, and optimized temperature programs for complex food matrices

Join us to discover how DSC translates thermal data into actionable insights for product development, quality control, and shelf-life prediction in the food industry.
