EN 19284 Vitamin B5 Profiling in Infant Nutrition
The European Standard EN 19284 outlines stringent requirements and procedures for the profiling of vitamin B5 (D-mannitol) in infant nutrition products. This service ensures that manufacturers comply with regulatory standards, ensuring infant health and safety by providing accurate and reliable data on the presence and levels of D-mannitol.
Vitamin B5 is crucial during infancy as it supports the synthesis of coenzymes involved in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. It also plays a vital role in the production of red blood cells, which are essential for oxygen transport in infants. Compliance with EN 19284 helps manufacturers ensure that their products meet these critical nutritional requirements.
The testing process involves several steps to ensure accurate results. Specimen preparation is meticulous and follows specific protocols outlined in the standard. This includes precise sample collection, homogenization, and extraction methods. The laboratory employs advanced instrumentation such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) for analysis.
Once extracted, the sample undergoes a series of purification steps to isolate D-mannitol from other components in the infant formula or food product. This ensures that only vitamin B5 is measured accurately. The laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 17025 standards for quality assurance and reliability.
After analysis, data is reported comprehensively, detailing the concentration of D-mannitol present in the sample. Reporting includes detailed analytical methods used, traceability to international standards such as EN 19284, and compliance with relevant regulations. This ensures transparency and trust between manufacturers and regulatory bodies.
The service also offers support for R&D activities, helping companies innovate while ensuring compliance. By profiling vitamin B5 levels in infant nutrition products, the laboratory assists in optimizing product formulations to meet nutritional guidelines set by EN 19284. This ensures that infants receive adequate amounts of this essential nutrient.
In addition, the service provides insights into potential deviations from standards and how these can impact product quality. This allows manufacturers to make necessary adjustments promptly, ensuring consistent compliance with regulatory requirements.
The laboratory's expertise in EN 19284 profiling extends beyond just analysis; it also offers training sessions for quality managers and compliance officers on the nuances of the standard. These sessions help stakeholders understand the importance of accurate testing and its implications for infant health and safety.
By adhering to EN 19284, manufacturers can ensure their products meet stringent regulatory standards, enhancing consumer confidence and trust in the brand. The service not only supports compliance but also drives innovation by providing detailed insights into vitamin B5 levels, enabling continuous improvement in product formulations.
