Overview
Cookies are widely produced in commercial bakeries for retail and food service applications. The manufacturing process typically includes mixing, forming, baking, cooling, and packaging to achieve the desired texture, taste, and shelf stability.
Moisture content is a critical parameter throughout cookie production, directly affecting texture, shelf life, and product consistency. Excess moisture can lead to soft, unstable products and reduced shelf life, while insufficient moisture can result in overly dry, brittle cookies and increased breakage.
Why Measure Moisture
MoistTech’s IR-3000 Near-Infrared (NIR) Moisture Sensor provides accurate, real-time, non-contact moisture measurement, enabling bakeries to optimize baking and cooling processes while ensuring consistent product quality.

Understand the Process
With continuous NIR online moisture testing, cookie manufacturing companies can monitor moisture levels which they in-turn, can precisely control ovens and fryers to optimize the production process with minimum energy requirements as well as preventing over cooking.
