C-Cell Advanced System

C-Cell Advanced is an advanced digital imaging system for analysing bread and other baking products.

This instrument captures high-resolution colour images of product samples and uses image analysis to deliver detailed, objective data on baking quality.

This data includes:

• Internal structure
• External features
• Number of cells
• Net cell elongation
• Non-uniformity
• Cell diameter
• Number of holes
• Wall thickness
• L*a*b* crumb colour
• Internal inclusion analysis
• Bread scoring

What Products Can You Test Using C-Cell Advanced?

You can use C-Cell Advanced to evaluate the quality of a wide range of food products, including:

• Bread
• Biscuits
• Cakes
• Snack foods
• Aerated products
• Chocolate and confectionery

How Does C-Cell Advanced Work?

C-Cell Advanced uses detailed image analysis to evaluate bread and baked goods through a simple, efficient process:

• The sample is placed into the instrument’s built-in drawer
• C-Cell captures a high-resolution digital image of the sample
• The instrument performs a detailed image analysis
• The results are displayed instantly on-screen

The instrument captures two images of the sample simultaneously, creating enhanced depth, contrast and lighting to deliver a broader and more detailed range of results.

Designed and built to optimise image quality, C-Cell Advanced performs all analyses in a single, rapid operation. The data produced is objective, reproducible, and easily transferable to other devices together with the captured images.

Data available from C-Cell includes:

• Cell data, including cell number, area and structure
• Sample dimensions
• External features such as height, concavity, oven spring and break points
• Crumb and internal structure

All results are stored in a secure database, allowing convenient future access, re-analysis and long-term comparison. Data can be exported in various formats, including reports and spreadsheets.
