EN 13265 Aspartame and Acesulfame K Profiling in Soft Drinks
The European Standard EN 13265 outlines the procedure for the profiling of aspartame and acesulfame K, two widely used sweeteners in soft drinks. This service ensures that the levels of these sweeteners are accurately determined to comply with regulatory standards and quality control requirements.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to EN 13265 guidelines, which include several key steps for accurate profiling:
- Sampling: Collection of representative samples from the soft drink batch.
- Preparation: Dilution and preparation of the sample in a way that does not alter its chemical properties.
- Analysis: Utilization of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to separate and quantify aspartame and acesulfame K.
The process is crucial for ensuring product consistency, safety, and compliance with international standards such as EN 13265. Our laboratory’s proficiency in this area ensures that sweetener levels are accurately measured, thereby maintaining the integrity of soft drink formulations.
Profiling these sweeteners helps in identifying potential quality issues early on, ensuring that products meet regulatory requirements and customer expectations. Compliance with EN 13265 is essential for manufacturers to avoid legal penalties and maintain a positive reputation in the market.
| Sample ID | Date of Analysis | Aspartame (mg/L) | Acesulfame K (mg/L) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S001 | 2023-10-05 | 49.7 | 65.3 |
| S002 | 2023-10-08 | 50.1 | 65.4 |
| S003 | 2023-10-12 | 49.8 | 65.2 |
The results from EN 13265 are critical for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement personnel to make informed decisions about product formulation and quality control. Our expertise in this area allows us to provide accurate and reliable profiling services that meet the highest standards.
