ISO 22611 Residue Profiling in Beverages
The ISO 22611 standard is a pivotal tool for the food and feed industry, providing a robust framework to ensure that beverages are free from harmful pesticide residues. This service focuses on residue profiling using this international standard, ensuring compliance with global regulations and safeguarding public health.
Compliance with ISO 22611 is crucial as it helps in detecting even trace amounts of pesticides, which can be detrimental if present above safe levels. The test measures pesticide residues at parts per billion (ppb), an extremely sensitive level that ensures the safety of consumers and protects the integrity of the supply chain.
Our service encompasses a comprehensive approach to residue profiling using advanced analytical techniques such as Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). This method offers high specificity, enabling accurate identification and quantification of pesticide residues. The process involves meticulous sample preparation, extraction, and clean-up steps that are critical for achieving reliable results.
The LC-MS system used in our laboratory adheres strictly to the guidelines provided by ISO 22611, ensuring consistent and reproducible results. This not only enhances accuracy but also builds trust among stakeholders, including regulators, suppliers, and consumers.
For beverages, the primary target pesticides include organophosphates, pyrethroids, carbamates, and other common agricultural chemicals used in food production. The service covers a wide range of beverage types such as soft drinks, fruit juices, milk products, and alcoholic beverages.
The significance of this test extends beyond mere compliance; it is a critical step towards maintaining brand reputation and consumer trust. By adhering to ISO 22611, companies can demonstrate their commitment to quality and safety, thereby mitigating the risks associated with pesticide residue contamination.
In summary, ISO 22611 residue profiling ensures that beverages are safe for consumption by eliminating even trace amounts of harmful pesticides. This service is essential for maintaining regulatory compliance, protecting public health, and upholding the integrity of food and beverage products in the global market.
