a new milestone in the history of CHOPIN Technologies and t he Alveogr aph wit h the introduction of the new AlveoLab. The latest evolution of the Alveogr aph, the CHOPIN AlveoLab, benefits today from very important innovations making the test easier to run and more accurate. The main stages of the test are now automated to minimise the operator impact on the results. Furthermore, the dough bubbles are made in a temperature and humidity controlled compartment to

available such as: analysis at constant hydration according to international standards (ISO, AACC, ICC), analysis of flour at adapted hydration corresponding to its use in process, degradation protocol to detect bug-damaged wheat, and protocol for durum wheat are just some examples. With the AlveoLab, the user can also simply and rapidly define new testing protocols. For example varying the intensity or duration of mixing may bring the method of analysis closer to a specific application and make the Alveograph test even more predictive of flour performance in your process. Another important innovation is the simple, comprehensive and intuitive software. Many new features are available. For example, a
new function helps you to find the most affordable wheat blends according to your specifications and available flours. An improvers guide can be used to select the most appropriate additive in order to obtain targeted Alveograph values. The AlveoLab will be presented all over the world starting in October 2014. www.chopin.fr

Adisseo launches Selisseo®, the innovative antioxidant
S
elisseo ® is the best organic selenium product available on the market, which combines purity, reliability, stability, ease-of-use and 100 % efficiency. This seleno-hydroxy-methionine is issued from a unique and patented molecule and chemical process, converting hydroxymethionine (HMTBA) into selenohydroxy-methionine (HMSeBA). It is 100 per cent biologically active and efficient, as demonstrated by more than 25 studies achieved across various species: broilers, turkeys, layers, piglets, pigs and ruminants. It increases selenium reserves as seleno-methionine in animal tissues, and enhances anti-oxidant seleno-proteins as demonstrated by the increased seleno-cysteine levels in metabolic tissues. It has been shown to enhance selenium deposited in broiler tissues (Briens et al., 2013), piglet tissues (Jlali et al., 2014) as well as in eggs (Jlali et al., 2014). It has

Compared to seleno-yeasts, it supplies 100 per cent of efficient selenium. As a well-defined molecule, Selisseo ® is easy to analyse by HPLC. Batch after batch, it delivers 100 per cent HMSeBA. Selisseo ® is stable in premixes and feeds, even after pelleting, heat treatment or extrusion. Selisseo ® is also easy-tohandle due to absence of fines and optimal particle size ensuring optimal mixability and improving safety in premix plants. Selisseo ® obtained its EU approval for all species, and the production site and chemical process have got the Feed Hygiene Approval (FHA) and the FAMI-QS certification. Selisseo ® , the innovative antioxidant, also obtained an Innovation Award (InnovSpace *** 2014) and will help producers to develop a sustainable animal protein production. www.adisseo.com
