ISO 166530 Ash Residue Profiling in Cereal By-Products
The ISO 166530 standard provides a robust framework for the determination of ash content in cereal by-products, which is crucial for ensuring product quality and compliance with regulatory standards. This testing method helps identify the mineral content present in feed materials, offering valuable insights into their nutritional profile.
Understanding the composition of these by-products is essential for formulating balanced diets that meet both animal health requirements and economic considerations. Ash residues can include important minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, iron, copper, zinc, iodine, selenium, and others. These elements are vital to support various physiological functions in animals.
The process involves precise sample preparation and rigorous analytical techniques to ensure accurate results. Samples must be thoroughly dried and homogenized before being subjected to high-temperature incineration (typically at 550°C). The resulting ash is then weighed, providing a quantitative measure of the mineral content in relation to the original sample mass.
This service allows clients to gain detailed knowledge about the mineral components within their cereal by-products. This information can be used to optimize formulations, enhance product quality, and ensure regulatory compliance. By adhering strictly to ISO 166530 guidelines, Eurolab ensures reliable and repeatable results.
Accurate ash residue profiling is particularly important for industries dealing with cereal by-products as it influences feed efficiency and animal health. Incomplete digestion of non-nutritive components can lead to reduced feed intake or even toxicity issues. Thus, understanding the exact composition helps in creating more effective and safer feeds.
Our expertise lies not only in performing these analyses but also in interpreting the data accurately so that clients can make informed decisions regarding their product development processes. Whether you're a manufacturer looking to improve your production standards or a researcher aiming for better nutritional outcomes, our services offer comprehensive support tailored specifically towards cereal by-product analysis.
