ISO 158903 Moisture Profiling in Pet Food Diets
The ISO 15890:2004 standard defines the procedure for moisture profiling in pet food diets. This service is essential for ensuring that pet foods meet their specified moisture content, which directly impacts product quality and safety.
Pet food manufacturers must maintain consistent moisture levels to prevent bacterial growth and ensure product stability. Excess or insufficient moisture can lead to spoilage, mold contamination, and nutritional imbalances. The ISO 15890:2004 standard provides a robust framework for moisture profiling, which allows for precise measurement of moisture content at multiple points within the pet food matrix.
This service involves analyzing pet food samples using gravimetric methods or Karl Fischer titration to determine moisture content across different regions of the product. The process begins by selecting representative samples from various parts of the batch or production run. These samples are then prepared according to standard procedures, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
Once prepared, the samples undergo multiple moisture determinations using precise instruments such as ovens or Karl Fischer titrators. This step-by-step approach allows for detailed profiling of moisture distribution throughout the pet food matrix. The resulting data provides valuable insights into the uniformity of moisture content across different regions of the product.
The ISO 15890:2004 standard specifies stringent acceptance criteria, ensuring that only compliant products meet industry standards and regulatory requirements. By adhering to these rigorous testing protocols, manufacturers can produce high-quality pet foods that are safe for consumption by pets while maintaining optimal nutritional value.
