AgileNobel

A temperature data logger is a device that automatically records the temperature over a period of time. The device collects, monitors, and stores temperature information so that it can be reported on a later date. Temperature data loggers from AgileNobel are easily operable by pressing a button on/off and are equipped with a LED light that indicate different statuses. The data loggers are most commonly used in transportation of various goods. How to Choose a Data Logger? When you want to choose a data logger, you need to consider the following things: 1. Number of Inputs Based on the number of inputs, temperature data loggers can be divided into two types: data loggers with single sensor input and data loggers that can be connected to multiple sensors at the same time based on the number of inputs. Single channel data logger is sufficient for some applications, but the multi-channel data logger is a more versatile device. Multi-channel data logger can have as many as 32 input...

Calcium propionate is an organic salt with the chemical formula of Ca(OOCCH 2 CH 3 ) 2 . The substance is formed by the reaction of calcium hydroxide with propionic acid (also known as propanoic acid). The compound occurs in two forms: powder and crystalline. It’s slight solubility in alcohol and high solubility in water makes it suitable in a plethora of applications: 1.        Food Additive Studies indicate that calcium propionate is one of the safest food additives used by the food industry. The chemical is most commonly used in baking products. In addition to baking, the salt is also used in as a preservative in chocolate products, processed cheeses, tobacco products, and fruit preserves. It should not be used with some types of cheeses as they naturally contain propionic acid. 2.        Animal feed To prevent the growth of mould and other microorganisms in them, calcium propionate is added to tobacco and ani...

Oxygen present in sealed food containers can have many harmful effects on the contents. Oxygen can cause the growth of pathogens, fungi, and bacteria which can have a harmful effects on the food. The presence of oxygen can also shorten the shelf life of some foods. Therefore, it becomes critical to eliminate oxygen from the containers especially during transportation. This is where oxygen absorbers come in. Oxygen absorbers help you to remove or decrease the level of oxygen in the package. They are used to help maintain safety of food products and extend their shelf life. The oxygen absorbers are enclosed in a porous sachet or packet but it can also be part of packaging films and structures. In the earlier days, an alkaline solution of pyrogellic acid was used as an oxygen absorber. Modern absorbers sachets use a mixture of iron powder and sodium chloride. Activated carbon is also used as it can adsorb both oxygen and other gases. Activated carbon further preserves products ...
