ASTM D6553 Herbicide Analysis in Soy-Based Foods
The analysis of herbicides in soy-based foods is critical to ensuring food safety and compliance with international standards. The ASTM D6553 standard provides a robust methodology for determining the presence and concentration levels of herbicides, particularly those used in agricultural practices that affect soybeans. This service is essential for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement professionals who need to verify the safety and integrity of their products.
The process involves several key steps: sample preparation, extraction, purification, and analysis using advanced chromatographic techniques such as gas chromatography (GC) or liquid chromatography (LC). The sample is typically prepared by extracting herbicides from soy-based food samples using solvents. This step ensures that the analytes are effectively separated and concentrated for further analysis.
The analytical process then involves the use of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) for enhanced detection sensitivity and specificity. The method is designed to detect even trace amounts of herbicides, ensuring that any residues found do not exceed safe limits set by regulatory bodies such as the FDA or EU Commission Regulation (EC) No 834/2007.
The acceptance criteria for this test are stringent, ensuring that any detected herbicide residues fall below the Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) specified by international standards. This ensures that soy-based products remain safe for consumption and comply with global food safety regulations.
