ISO 24351 Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) Profiling in Compound Feed
The European standard ISO 24351 provides a comprehensive approach to the profiling of vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, in compound feed. This method is crucial for ensuring that animal feeds meet specific nutritional requirements and regulatory standards. Riboflavin plays a vital role in energy metabolism and antioxidant defense systems within animals, making its accurate quantification essential.
The process involves several steps, starting with the collection of representative samples from various batches of compound feed. These samples are then prepared according to strict protocols outlined in ISO 24351, which may include homogenization followed by extraction procedures designed to liberate riboflavin from its complex matrix within the feed ingredients.
After sample preparation, the extracted riboflavin is quantified using advanced spectrofluorometric methods. This technique leverages the characteristic emission spectrum of riboflavin when excited with specific wavelengths of light. The precision and accuracy of this method are enhanced by calibrating against known standards and employing quality control measures throughout the process.
The results obtained from this procedure provide critical insights into the nutritional content of feed formulations, helping to ensure compliance with dietary requirements set forth by regulatory bodies such as the European Union (EU) and others. This information is invaluable for quality managers looking to maintain consistent product quality, ensuring that each batch meets not only legal standards but also exceeds expectations in terms of nutritional value.
Moreover, accurate profiling allows manufacturers to tailor their formulations more precisely based on specific animal needs or regional regulations. By providing reliable data on riboflavin levels, this testing method supports better decision-making during product development and formulation optimization processes conducted by R&D engineers.
Incorporating ISO 24351 into a company's quality assurance program not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes positively to environmental sustainability efforts by reducing waste from over- or under-formulated feeds. Procurement teams benefit significantly from this level of detail when selecting suppliers who adhere strictly to international standards, thus ensuring consistent supply chains.
