Hard Skills
IntermediateViscosity TestingThe process of measuring the flow resistance of starch slurries using specialized equipment like viscometers to determine thickening properties.
IntermediateMoisture Content AnalysisUtilizing oven-drying or infrared moisture balances to determine the percentage of water within starch samples.
AdvancedHACCP PrinciplesKnowledge of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points to identify and manage food safety risks during testing.
IntermediatepH and Titration AnalysisDetermining the acidity or alkalinity of starch samples to ensure they meet chemical specification benchmarks.
AdvancedMicroscopic ExaminationUsing microscopy to inspect starch granules for size, shape, and presence of foreign matter or impurities.
