Nitrogen and Protein in Flour using FP828

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.
