ISO 14502 Polyphenol Quantification in Tea and Juice Drinks
The quantification of polyphenols is a critical parameter in ensuring product quality, safety, and compliance for tea and juice drinks. Polyphenols are natural antioxidants that play a significant role in determining the flavor, color, and health benefits of beverages. Our ISO 14502-1 service provides precise measurement of total polyphenol content using standardized methods to meet regulatory requirements and customer expectations.
The process begins with the selection of appropriate tea or juice samples for testing. Samples are carefully prepared according to industry best practices, ensuring they accurately represent the product. This preparation may include extraction procedures tailored to enhance the solubility of polyphenols, such as ultrasonic treatment or extended maceration times.
Once prepared, the sample is analyzed using advanced spectrophotometric techniques that adhere strictly to ISO 14502-1 guidelines. These methods involve measuring absorbance at specific wavelengths associated with polyphenol absorption in solutions. The calibration curve generated from this process allows for accurate quantification of total polyphenols present.
The precision and accuracy of the results are further enhanced by our state-of-the-art laboratory equipment, including multi-functional spectrophotometers capable of delivering consistent readings across multiple samples. Our analysts possess extensive experience in performing these types of analyses, ensuring reliable data generation that meets both internal standards as well as external regulatory bodies.
A key aspect of this service lies in its ability to detect even trace amounts of polyphenols within complex matrices such as teas and juices. This capability is crucial for maintaining consistent product quality over time while also identifying potential variations between batches or suppliers.
Our team works closely with clients throughout the entire testing process, providing guidance on sample selection, preparation methods, and interpretation of results. By leveraging our expertise in this area, businesses can gain valuable insights into their products' polyphenol content that will help them stay competitive in today's marketplace.
In conclusion, ISO 14502-1 offers a robust framework for quantifying total polyphenols in tea and juice drinks. Our service ensures accurate measurements through rigorous adherence to international standards combined with advanced analytical techniques. This approach supports your efforts towards maintaining high-quality products that meet both internal quality goals and external regulatory expectations.
