The iCinac is the fourth generation of the Cinac system, an instrument developed in the 90s in partnership with INRA (UMR GMPA, lab G. Corrieu) at the request of major french dairy companies.
It is currently the only system dedicated to monitoring the acidification activity of lactic ferments, which simultaneously observes the change in pH, temperature and redox potential of one or several samples in order to:
Determine the acid forming characteristics specific to the phylum studied,
Evaluate and anticipate its impact on process development,
Examine the influence of various parameters on acid forming capacity: different media, temperature, etc.
Define adequate inocula (mixing of phylum, complementary characteristics, etc.)
