Control Cereal Moisture Content

All cereal—whether flaked, puffed, rolled, shredded, shaped, hot or cold, sugar-coated or plain—must meet certain moisture level requirements in order to achieve cereal’s trademark long shelf life. Both temperature and cereal moisture content levels must be constantly monitored to ensure proper cooking and shaping. All of this requires accurate and reliable moisture testing instruments. Is cereal moisture a crucial step in your production process? MoistTech manufactures the best possible solution for your facility.

MoistTech specializes in the analysis of cereals, flours, and their derivatives for quality control purposes in manufacturing facilities. Cereal plants like wheat, rice, corn, barley, rye, oats, and millet produce grains that are responsible for a significant portion of the world’s food supply.

The breakfast cereal market is a highly competitive industry where brand loyalty and maintaining consistent product quality are crucial for gaining market share and achieving production and distribution efficiencies. Ensuring consistent product quality and efficient production processes are essential for a successful product.

Raw materials like wheat, corn, or rice are examined to guarantee quality and meet vendor specifications. Analyzing the moisture content of tempered raw materials is important to ensure proper flaking or shredding. In-process products are tested for moisture to regulate oven temperature and sugar content. Finished products, such as cereal, are also tested for moisture, fat, and other factors to confirm the optimal operation of the process.
