ISO 20569 Tartrazine Detection in Beverages
The use of tartrazine (FD&C Yellow No. 5) as a colorant in beverages is subject to strict regulations globally, primarily due to its potential allergenic effects and the need for transparency regarding food additives. ISO 20569 provides guidelines for the safety assessment of food additives, including tartrazine, ensuring that products meet stringent quality standards before reaching consumers.
Our service specializes in detecting tartrazine residues in beverages using advanced analytical techniques compliant with ISO 20569. This process ensures that our clients can maintain compliance and ensure the safety of their products. The detection method involves several steps, including sample preparation, analysis, and interpretation of results.
Sample preparation is critical for accurate testing. Beverages are filtered to remove particulates, then diluted as necessary before undergoing chromatographic analysis. Chromatography is chosen for its precision in separating components of the beverage, allowing for the accurate identification and quantification of tartrazine. The method used adheres strictly to ISO 20569 standards.
The analytical process involves using a high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) equipped with an ultraviolet-visible detector. This equipment is calibrated according to international standards, ensuring consistent results across multiple samples. Calibration ensures that the instrument can accurately measure tartrazine concentrations down to parts per million levels.
Once the sample has been analyzed, the results are interpreted against ISO 20569 guidelines. The acceptable limit for tartrazine in beverages is set at a concentration lower than 10 ppm by weight, as specified in ISO standards. Any detection above this level indicates potential non-compliance with regulatory requirements and necessitates corrective action.
The service also provides comprehensive reports detailing the testing process, including sample preparation, chromatographic data, and interpretation of results against ISO guidelines. These reports are invaluable for quality managers and compliance officers in ensuring that products meet all necessary safety standards.
Our expertise extends beyond simple detection; we offer advice on formulation adjustments to reduce tartrazine content if required by regulatory bodies or market demands. This service ensures that our clients stay ahead of changing regulations while maintaining product quality and safety.
