unlike other factory,rikevita does not produce finished food
product...
rikevita is producing the emulsifier for the cake,ice cream and other
products, one of the customer is apollo. 95% of the product produced are being exported to the other
countries..
we have to analysed the product before being released to the
customer...
some of the product are the same product but may have different brand
for different customer...
early in the morning, we have to follow the other staff to take sample
from the production area.
then,there is a meeting between the QC staff with the head of
department to divide the sample for each person to be tested...
usually, i have to run test for EP(emulsifier preparation) sample...
so, the test involve for the EP sample are microbe test, fat analysis
(soxhlet),LOD (loss on drying), RI, and viscosity...
for microbe test, the sample are being test for the presence of
coliform, yeast and mould and total plate count...
LOD is for moisture content test and RI is same as ashing...
on behalf of shela,usually, she has to run sample from EMA (emulsifier
monoglycerate acetylated)
so, the test involve are IV (iodine value), AV(acid value), SV
(saponification value) and OHV (hydroxyl value)....
All of these are as the same as chemistry experiements....
