EN 19799 Multi-Residue Profiling in Soft Drinks
The European standard EN 19799 specifies a method for the simultaneous determination of multiple pesticide residues in soft drinks. This service is critical for ensuring compliance with international and regional regulations aimed at protecting public health and maintaining the integrity of food and feed products.
Soft drinks, particularly those containing natural or artificial flavors, are susceptible to contamination from various pesticides used in agriculture. The presence of even trace amounts of these residues can have serious implications for human health. Consequently, rigorous testing is essential to ensure that soft drink formulations meet stringent legal limits set by regulatory bodies such as the European Union and other international standards.
Our EN 19799 service leverages advanced analytical techniques including Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to identify a broad spectrum of pesticides. This method allows us to profile multiple residues simultaneously, providing comprehensive results that are both accurate and reproducible. The service is designed to cater to the needs of quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement professionals who require reliable data for decision-making processes.
The testing process begins with sample preparation, which involves extracting target pesticides from soft drink samples using appropriate solvents. Following extraction, the samples are subjected to LC-MS/MS analysis under optimized conditions that ensure high sensitivity and selectivity. The results are then interpreted according to EN 19799 guidelines, providing precise concentrations of all detected residues.
This service is particularly valuable for companies involved in the formulation, production, and distribution of soft drinks. It ensures that products meet not only local but also international standards, thereby enhancing consumer confidence and protecting brand reputation. By adhering to this standard, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to maintaining high-quality standards and compliance with regulatory requirements.
The EN 19799 method is robust enough to handle complex matrices found in soft drinks, making it suitable for various types of beverages including fruit juices, carbonated drinks, and energy drinks. This versatility ensures that the service can be applied across different product lines within a company or by individual clients.
The significance of this service extends beyond mere compliance; it also plays a crucial role in research and development efforts aimed at improving product safety and efficacy. By identifying potential sources of contamination early on, companies can take proactive measures to eliminate them, leading to safer products for consumers.
In summary, our EN 19799 multi-residue profiling service offers comprehensive analysis tailored specifically for soft drinks. It ensures that products meet all relevant standards while providing valuable insights into ingredient composition and potential risks associated with pesticide use in agriculture.
