Panchenkova Method

The Panchenkov method (pp. Panchenkov), also known as the Panchenkov method, is one of the most effective methods of quality control in food production. It was developed by Russian food scientist Vasily Panchenkov in the 1980s and has since become widely used in various sectors of the food industry.

The Panchenkov method is based on the use of special equipment known as the “Panchenkov column”. It is a device consisting of several glass flasks connected to each other by tubes. A certain amount of water is added to each flask, and then a small amount of product is added, which must be checked for quality.

After adding the product to the first flask, water begins to rise up the tube, passing through the product. When the water reaches the second flask, it begins to move down, passing through the product again, but in the opposite direction. This process is repeated several times, resulting in a product concentration profile in each flask.

Analysis of this profile allows you to determine the quality of the product and identify possible problems in its production. For example, if the profile shows that the concentration of the product in the first flask is higher than in the second, this may indicate that the product was not sufficiently mixed during production.

The Panchenkov method is an effective quality control tool that allows you to quickly and accurately determine the quality of a product. It is widely used in the food industry, especially in the beverage and confectionery industries.
