ISO 17930 Vitamin D Testing in Dairy-Based Foods
The ISO 17930 standard provides a robust methodology for quantifying vitamin D content specifically in dairy-based foods. This service is crucial for ensuring compliance with international standards, enhancing product quality, and maintaining consumer safety. In the food industry, accurate measurement of vitamins like vitamin D is essential to meet nutritional labeling requirements and ensure that products are safe for consumption.
Dairy-based foods such as milk, cheese, yogurt, and butter can have varying levels of vitamin D depending on fortification practices or natural content. The presence of vitamin D in these products plays a critical role in preventing deficiencies associated with its deficiency, including rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults.
ISO 17930 specifies the extraction method, measurement procedure, and quality control measures to ensure accurate determination of vitamin D levels in dairy-based foods. The testing process involves several steps:
- Sampling
- Sample preparation (if necessary)
- Vitamin D extraction using organic solvents or other approved methods
- Detection with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or similar techniques
- Data analysis and reporting of results according to the specified limits.
This process ensures precision, reliability, and reproducibility in vitamin D measurements. The laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 17930 guidelines to deliver accurate and consistent results.
The importance of this test cannot be overstated, especially for companies involved in the production or distribution of dairy-based foods. Compliance with international standards is not only a legal requirement but also helps build consumer trust and ensures that products meet nutritional claims accurately.
