ISO 25535 Phylloquinone (Vitamin K1) Measurement in Leafy Vegetables
The measurement of phylloquinone, or Vitamin K1, is a critical aspect within the food and feed testing sector. This vitamin plays an essential role in blood coagulation as well as bone metabolism and cardiovascular health. The ISO 25535 standard provides a robust method for quantifying this vital nutrient, ensuring compliance with international safety and quality standards.
Leafy vegetables are among the most common dietary sources of Vitamin K1. Ensuring their accurate measurement is not just about maintaining product integrity; it also contributes significantly to public health by providing reliable data on nutritional content. This service leverages advanced analytical techniques, including chromatography, spectrophotometry, and other precision methods.
The process begins with meticulous specimen preparation, which involves thorough washing and drying of the leafy greens prior to extraction. Extraction solvents are chosen based on their compatibility with the sample matrix and the specific requirements outlined in ISO 25535. Once extracted, the samples undergo a purification step aimed at eliminating interferences that could skew results.
The analytical method used is highly sensitive and precise, capable of detecting even trace amounts of Vitamin K1. The chromatographic technique employed allows for clear separation of phylloquinone from other compounds, ensuring accurate quantification. Post-analysis, the data is processed to generate a final concentration value that adheres strictly to ISO 25535 specifications.
Quality managers and compliance officers will find this service invaluable as it ensures their products meet not only internal quality control standards but also international regulatory requirements. For R&D engineers involved in product development, understanding the nutritional content of raw materials is crucial for formulation optimization. This service provides precise data that can guide such efforts effectively.
Procurement professionals benefit from accurate measurements as they ensure suppliers are delivering products meeting specified Vitamin K1 levels. Compliance with ISO 25535 ensures consistency and reliability across batches, thereby supporting a robust supply chain.
