EN 18115 Determination of Nutritional Profile of Functional Beverages
The determination of the nutritional profile of functional beverages is a critical aspect in ensuring product safety, efficacy, and compliance with regulatory standards. This service focuses on the analysis of functional beverages using ISO/IEC EN 18115:2019, which outlines specific procedures for assessing the nutrient content.
The process involves meticulous sample preparation to ensure accurate results. Samples are analyzed for a wide range of nutrients, including but not limited to vitamins (A, C, D), minerals (calcium, iron), macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fats), and functional ingredients such as omega-3 fatty acids or probiotics.
The analytical techniques employed include chromatographic methods, spectrophotometry, and gravimetric analysis. Chromatography is particularly useful for separating complex mixtures of nutrients, while spectrophotometry allows precise measurement of trace elements like iron and zinc. For macronutrients, gravimetric methods are used to ensure accuracy.
The acceptance criteria for this service are stringent and align with international standards. Samples must be processed in a manner that minimizes contamination and degradation. The precision and accuracy of the results are paramount, as deviations can impact the nutritional claims made by manufacturers.
Real-world applications of this test include verifying the efficacy of dietary supplements, ensuring compliance with labeling requirements, and supporting research on the health benefits of functional beverages. This service is essential for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams who need to ensure that their products meet regulatory standards and consumer expectations.
The use of this standard ensures consistency and reliability in the results across different laboratories. It allows manufacturers to confidently claim specific nutritional content on product labels, which is crucial for maintaining brand integrity and trust with consumers.
- Quality Assurance: Samples are processed under controlled conditions to minimize variability.
- Precision: Each analysis is conducted multiple times to ensure consistent results.
The EN 18115 standard also provides a framework for continuous improvement in analytical methods, ensuring that the nutritional profile of functional beverages remains accurate and up-to-date with scientific advancements.
