Nitrogen and Protein in Flour using FP828

<p>Explore the importance of protein content in flour classification and how the LECO FP828 enables accurate measurement through automated Dumas combustion. Flour protein levels influence baking performance, making precise nitrogen-based protein determination essential. The FP828 uses a pure oxygen vertical furnace, reagent-free moisture removal, and a 3 cm or 10 cm gas aliquot system to deliver rapid, cost-efficient analysis. A thermal conductivity detector quantifies nitrogen in the combustion gas, supporting reliable flour quality assessment. Guidelines for sample preparation and moisture correction ensure consistent, accurate results.</p>
