LABORATORY
Perník Ltd. has at its disposal an internal laboratory, which is focused on the control of declared specifics and quality of supplied ingredients and on everyday control of the production.
Laboratory is mainly used to confirm the absence of gluten in gluten-free ingredients and final products – and to evaluate the effectivity of implemented safety and quality systems in the production.
These analyses are realized by a modern and automated system ELISA, which is sought after for its reliability, ease of use and service, size and wide scope of usability in laboratory measurements.
Laboratory is also equipped with rheometers, namely mixograf and alveograf.
Mixograf is able to measure physical characteristics of doughs – stability, expandability, softening; it is able to determine quality of flour proteins on the basis of water absorption values, also, how will change the dough consistency with the use of additives.
Alveograf monitors changes in a dough with constant water content, this is how it is able to measure its flexibility and baking quality of the flour.
