ISO 11292 Determination of Soluble Dietary Fiber in Food Products
The determination of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) is a critical aspect of food quality and safety, especially for products like cereals, breads, and other grain-based foods. The ISO 11292 standard provides a method to accurately measure the amount of SDF in these products. This service ensures compliance with international standards while delivering reliable data that supports product development and quality assurance.
The process involves several steps, including sample preparation, extraction, and quantification. Samples are typically ground into a fine powder before undergoing a series of chemical treatments designed to separate soluble from insoluble fibers. The use of this ISO standard guarantees the precision and accuracy required for nutritional labeling and health claims in the food industry.
The significance of SDF testing extends beyond just compliance with standards. It helps manufacturers understand the functional properties of their ingredients, such as viscosity, fermentability, and texture. This knowledge is invaluable for formulating products that meet consumer expectations and regulatory requirements.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 11292:2015, which specifies a gravimetric method using hydrolysis with α-amylase and β-glucosidase. This approach ensures the accurate measurement of SDF by breaking down non-soluble dietary fibers into soluble forms. The results are reported in grams per 100 grams of dry matter, providing a clear metric for comparing different samples.
The importance of this testing cannot be overstated, particularly given the increasing demand for health-conscious products. Consumers are more aware of their nutritional intake and look to food labels for information that supports healthier lifestyles. By offering reliable SDF analysis according to ISO 11292, we help our clients meet these demands.
Our team of experts ensures that every test is conducted under controlled conditions, using state-of-the-art equipment. We employ highly trained analysts who are familiar with the nuances of this method, ensuring consistent and accurate results. This commitment to excellence allows us to provide data that not only meets but exceeds industry expectations.
For those looking to optimize product formulations or ensure compliance with current regulations, our SDF testing service is an essential tool. It provides valuable insights into the nutritional profile of food products, supporting both research and development efforts and regulatory submissions.
