the ultimate solution for the consistency in baking industry
mixolabMeasuring the rheological characteristics of dough
l Minimise your production costs by selecting the right product and dose.
SELECTING AND DOSING ENzymES AND ADDITIvES
l Become an expert in using your CHOPIN Technologies equipment.
APPLICATIONS
The Mixolab measures the dough behavior submitted to the dual constraints of kneading and temperature stresses.
n measurement principle
The Mixolab measures, in real time, the torque produced by the dough between two blades. It shows :
Mixing behaviour (hydration, stability, etc...).
Protein quality.
Starch gelatinization.
Amylase activity.
Starch retrogradation.
Its integrated software displays the standard curve parameters and translate it into six qualitative indexes that can be easily used to define the specifications criteria:l Absorption Indexl Gluten+ Indexl Amylase Indexl Mixing Indexl Viscosity Indexl Retrogradation Index

mEASURE DOUGH SAmPLES CHARACTERISTICS « ON LINE »
The Mixolab PROFILER shows an accurate image of flours based on their observed behaviour on the production line. The Mixolab Profiler is the ideal tool for elaborating the manufacturing profile of your finished product (biscuits, cakes, crackers, noodles, bread, rusks, brioches, pizza, buns…) and achieving the required result.
Every production is different and requires a dedicated flour to obtain the desired finished product. The Mixolab Profiler lets you create the link between the quality of the wheat and the quality of the finished product, for any given production process.
Products high in fibre are more and more consumed for their health beneficial effects.
Adding fibre greatly changes the rheological behaviour of dough.
Regardless of their type or granulometry, the Mixolab is a simple and efficient solution for developing products high in fibre.
The complete Mixolab test lets you predict the future behaviour of the flours.
The prediction models let you quickly work out values such as volume, hydration and other parameters.
The example, shows a set example of flour specifications for making cakes, cookies and biscuits.
With the Mixolab, non-compliant flours are clearly identified on the warming starch phase of the dough.
n Blue : the compliant flours.n Green : the non compliant flours.
The Mixolab can be used right at the production line thanks to an option that lets you directly incorporate the formed dough into the bowl.
This means you can instantly know the behaviour of every type of dough (production line control).
This method lets you accurately define the hydration target necessary to obtain a dough with the desired consistency.
The example shows the curves obtained by hydrating the dough to 68.9% (green curve); 69.2% (blue curve), 69.8% (pink curve).
Knowing that 0.1 Nm corresponds to a hydration discrepancy of 0.3 % allows the operator to adjust quickly (2 minute test) and accurately any variation in consistency in the industrial mixer.
The Mixolab also lets you predict the characteristics of a large number of products :
n Cookies - Biscuits : Diameter and spread ratio correlate significantly with the values C3 and C4 of the Mixolab test.
n Cakes : - Softness correlates significantly with the value C5. - Volume correlates significantly with the values C3, C4, C5.
In this example of five flours used in production, three work well and two do not bring an acceptable finished product. Analysis using regular tools does not disciminate these five samples.
Gluten-free products require complex formulations. The cereals used (maize, rice, buckwheat, etc...) lack of viscoelastic network to be as effective as a wheat gluten dough network.
The Mixolab makes it easy to fine tune gluten-free formulations and minimise the development time of this type of product.
l Visually display the action of your raw materials on dough consistency.
TEST COmPLETED FORmULAS
The composition of industrial products is often more complex than basic flour + water + salt + yeast. Adding ingredients considerably impacts the rheological behaviour of doughs (see example : effect of sugar).
The Mixolab responds easily to all constraints and lets you test formulas with sugar, egg powder, fat, etc...

The entire staling process is a long phenomenon. The last phase of the Mixolab test measures starch retrogradation, the main origin of staling in cereal products, and therefore lets you realistically and immediately work out the end product shelf life.

The Mixolab PROFILER shows an accurate image of flours based on their observed behaviour on the production line. The Mixolab Profiler is the ideal tool for elaborating the manufacturing profile of your finished product (biscuits, cakes, crackers, noodles, bread, rusks, brioches, pizza, buns…) and achieving the required result.
Every production is different and requires a dedicated flour to obtain the desired finished product. The Mixolab Profiler lets you create the link between the quality of the wheat and the quality of the finished product, for any given production process.
Products high in fibre are more and more consumed for their health beneficial effects.
Adding fibre greatly changes the rheological behaviour of dough.
Regardless of their type or granulometry, the Mixolab is a simple and efficient solution for developing products high in fibre.
The complete Mixolab test lets you predict the future behaviour of the flours.
The prediction models let you quickly work out values such as volume, hydration and other parameters.
The example, shows a set example of flour specifications for making cakes, cookies and biscuits.
With the Mixolab, non-compliant flours are clearly identified on the warming starch phase of the dough.
n Blue : the compliant flours.n Green : the non compliant flours.
The Mixolab can be used right at the production line thanks to an option that lets you directly incorporate the formed dough into the bowl.
This means you can instantly know the behaviour of every type of dough (production line control).
This method lets you accurately define the hydration target necessary to obtain a dough with the desired consistency.
The example shows the curves obtained by hydrating the dough to 68.9% (green curve); 69.2% (blue curve), 69.8% (pink curve).
Knowing that 0.1 Nm corresponds to a hydration discrepancy of 0.3 % allows the operator to adjust quickly (2 minute test) and accurately any variation in consistency in the industrial mixer.
The Mixolab also lets you predict the characteristics of a large number of products :
n Cookies - Biscuits : Diameter and spread ratio correlate significantly with the values C3 and C4 of the Mixolab test.
n Cakes : - Softness correlates significantly with the value C5. - Volume correlates significantly with the values C3, C4, C5.
In this example of five flours used in production, three work well and two do not bring an acceptable finished product. Analysis using regular tools does not disciminate these five samples.
Gluten-free products require complex formulations. The cereals used (maize, rice, buckwheat, etc...) lack of viscoelastic network to be as effective as a wheat gluten dough network.
The Mixolab makes it easy to fine tune gluten-free formulations and minimise the development time of this type of product.
l Visually display the action of your raw materials on dough consistency.
TEST COmPLETED FORmULAS
The composition of industrial products is often more complex than basic flour + water + salt + yeast. Adding ingredients considerably impacts the rheological behaviour of doughs (see example : effect of sugar).
The Mixolab responds easily to all constraints and lets you test formulas with sugar, egg powder, fat, etc...
