ISO 21415 Gluten Detection in Cereal-Based Drinks
The ISO 21415 standard provides a robust framework for the accurate detection of gluten in cereal-based drinks, particularly those intended for individuals with dietary restrictions such as celiac disease or wheat allergy. This service ensures that food and beverage products meet stringent regulatory requirements by offering precise quantification of gluten content, helping manufacturers maintain compliance and trust with their customers.
The process begins with the collection of samples from various production batches to ensure a representative mix. These samples are then prepared using methods outlined in ISO 21415, which may involve extraction techniques designed to release gluten proteins for analysis. The chosen method ensures that no cross-contamination occurs, maintaining product integrity.
Once prepared, the samples undergo chromatographic or immunoassay-based analyses to quantify the level of gluten present. Chromatography is particularly effective in separating and identifying gluten peptides, while immunoassays rely on antibodies specific to gluten proteins for detection. Both methods provide high sensitivity and specificity, allowing for accurate measurement down to parts per million levels.
Compliance with ISO 21415 not only ensures that the product meets regulatory standards but also helps build consumer confidence in the safety of their food choices. For quality managers and compliance officers, this service offers a reliable way to monitor production processes and ensure consistent adherence to gluten-free labeling requirements. R&D engineers can leverage these tests to innovate safer formulations and improve product development.
For procurement teams, ISO 21415 testing ensures that raw materials meet the necessary standards, reducing the risk of contamination throughout the supply chain. This service supports a comprehensive approach to quality assurance in food and beverage production, ensuring products are safe and compliant with international guidelines.
