EN ISO 11085 Determination of Crude Fat in Cereals and Cereal Products
The determination of crude fat content is a critical parameter in the quality control of cereals and cereal products. This service ensures that the nutritional composition meets regulatory standards, supports product labeling accuracy, and enhances consumer trust.
Crude fat is an essential component of cereals and cereal products as it influences flavor, texture, and overall palatability. It also plays a vital role in the stability and shelf life of these products. The CEN standard EN ISO 11085 provides a standardized method to accurately determine the crude fat content by gravimetric analysis using petroleum ether.
The procedure involves extracting the fats from the sample, which is then quantified through drying and weighing. The precision of this test ensures that all stakeholders—be it manufacturers, regulatory bodies, or consumers—are provided with accurate and consistent information about the product's nutritional profile.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to EN ISO 11085, ensuring that every sample is handled meticulously from extraction to final analysis. This service is particularly important for companies involved in the production of cereals like wheat, corn, rice, and their processed forms such as flakes, breakfast cereals, and snack products.
The results are not only crucial for compliance with international standards but also provide valuable insights into product formulation and ingredient selection. By ensuring that crude fat content is within acceptable limits, our service helps in maintaining the integrity of nutritional labeling and supports the development of healthier food options.
For instance, a company might use this test to verify that their new line of breakfast cereals meets the desired fat content for health-conscious consumers or to ensure consistency across different production batches. Similarly, regulatory bodies rely on these tests to enforce compliance with food safety regulations and consumer protection laws.
The EN ISO 11085 method is widely recognized for its reliability and accuracy in determining crude fat content. By following this standard, we provide a service that is not only compliant but also robust enough to support ongoing research and development efforts within the industry.
Our expertise lies in ensuring that each step of the process—from sample preparation to final analysis—is conducted with the highest level of precision. This commitment translates into reliable results that are essential for maintaining brand reputation, compliance, and consumer trust.
In conclusion, the EN ISO 11085 method is a cornerstone of our nutritional composition testing service. By providing accurate and consistent data on crude fat content, we contribute significantly to the quality and reliability of cereals and cereal products.
