While savoring a delicious meal, the age-old saying "It's all about the taste, not the appearance" often resonates. The visual aspect simply enhances the overall flavor experience. When a dish both looks and tastes exceptional, diners are quick to give it high praise.
Food purchasers and food manufacturers understand that taste isn't the only factor at play. If a food product lacks the right feel or appeal, the initial bite may also be the final one. They require an objective measure of these sensory aspects that is both consistent and reproducible. These sensory aspects fall into a category called texture.

As usual when we pose a question, like:
Should you use Coulometric or Volumetric Karl Fischer to measure moisture in your product?
We often get a the reaction, “So Who Cares?” We'll try to answer both questions.

At first glance, viscosity seems like a fairly simple concept. It helps describe how thick a product is, or how well it flows. That's all, right?
In reality, there are several different terms that come under the heading of viscosity. These terms are derived from how the viscosity is measured. When people talk about viscosity, they are talking about one of two things: kinematic viscosity or dynamic viscosity.
It's not easy to find a lot of information on the differences between dynamic and kinematic viscosity. This is my attempt to bring clarity to these two principal concepts.

Karl Fischer Titration and Loss-on Drying (LOD) are both methods for determining moisture content in a product.
That’s where the similarities end, though. In this article, I will explain the difference between Karl Fischer Titration and Loss-on Drying, and offer some suggestions to help you choose the right method for your application.
