ISO 22621 Multi-Residue Analysis in Jams and Preserves
The ISO 22621 standard provides a robust framework for the multi-residue analysis of pesticides in food products, including jams and preserves. This service ensures that manufacturers can reliably detect pesticide residues to maintain high standards of safety and compliance with international guidelines.
ISO 22621 is designed to identify a wide range of organophosphate, organochlorine, pyrethroid, carbamate, and other pesticide residues in food products. The method combines liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for accurate detection with high sensitivity.
The analytical process involves the extraction of samples using a suitable solvent, followed by clean-up steps to remove interfering compounds. This ensures that only the pesticide residues are detected. The method is validated over a broad concentration range from sub-parts per million (ppm) down to parts per billion (ppb).
The significance of this test lies in its ability to protect consumers and ensure food safety by identifying potential contamination with hazardous pesticides. This service is particularly crucial for products that may undergo significant processing, as it helps maintain consistent quality.
Compliance with ISO 22621 is essential for regulatory adherence and consumer trust. Regulatory bodies worldwide recognize this standard, ensuring that tests conducted follow a globally accepted protocol.
The accuracy of the test results depends heavily on the sample preparation steps. Proper handling of samples ensures accurate detection of residues. The laboratory adheres to strict protocols to ensure consistent quality in every analysis.
Given the complexity of pesticides and their potential for co-occurrence, this multi-residue approach is critical. It allows for comprehensive screening without missing any potentially harmful compounds. This service supports both regulatory compliance and internal quality control processes.
The multi-residue analysis also helps in identifying trends over time, which can inform decision-making on sourcing ingredients or adjusting manufacturing processes to enhance safety.
In summary, ISO 22621 is a comprehensive method that ensures the detection of pesticide residues in jams and preserves. It supports compliance with international standards, enhances product safety, and provides valuable insights into potential contamination sources.
