ISO 102634 Zearalenone Quantification in Pet Nutrition
The quantification of zearalenone (ZEN) in pet nutrition is a critical aspect of ensuring product safety and quality. Zearalenone, a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species, can be harmful to pets if present at high levels in their diet. ISO 102634 provides a standardized method for the precise quantification of zearalenone in pet food products.
This service involves the meticulous extraction and purification of ZEN from various pet food samples, followed by its detection and quantification using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The procedure adheres strictly to ISO 102634 guidelines, ensuring accurate and reliable results. This method is particularly sensitive and specific for the detection of ZEN, making it ideal for both routine quality control and research applications.
Sample preparation plays a crucial role in this process. Samples are first homogenized to ensure uniform distribution of ZEN. Then, they undergo extraction using a solvent such as acetonitrile or methanol followed by clean-up steps like solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges to remove interfering substances. This step-by-step approach ensures that only the target analyte is detected in subsequent analysis.
The LC-MS/MS system used for this service features advanced technology capable of resolving complex mixtures efficiently and accurately. The system employs electrospray ionization (ESI) which provides high sensitivity and selectivity necessary for quantifying trace amounts of ZEN in pet food samples. Analysts use calibration curves generated from known concentrations of ZEN to determine the amount present in each sample.
Following analysis, results are reported according to ISO 102634 specifications detailing limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ). These values help manufacturers understand how much ZEN is naturally occurring or potentially added during processing. Reporting includes detailed descriptions of the methodology used along with any relevant metadata about sample preparation and instrumentation.
