ISO 27085 Pesticide Residue Analysis in Dairy-Based Drinks
The ISO 27085 standard is specifically designed for the analysis of pesticide residues in dairy-based drinks. This service ensures that consumers receive products free from harmful pesticides, thereby upholding the highest standards of food safety and quality.
Dairy-based drinks are a crucial part of the global diet, especially in regions where milk and its derivatives form a significant portion of daily consumption. Ensuring these products are free from pesticide residues is not only essential for consumer health but also aligns with regulatory requirements and industry best practices.
The analytical process typically involves several key steps. Initially, the sample is prepared by homogenizing it to ensure even distribution of the sample across the container. This step is critical as it affects the accuracy of the subsequent analysis. The prepared sample is then extracted using solvents that are selected based on their ability to effectively extract pesticides without interfering with the analytical process.
The chosen solvent, usually a combination of water and methanol or acetone, is used in an extraction process designed to remove any pesticide residues while minimizing the introduction of artifacts. Once the extraction is complete, the sample is filtered using fine membranes to ensure that no particulate matter remains in the solution.
The extracted solution is then analyzed using a validated High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method. This technique allows for the separation and quantification of different pesticide residues present in the sample. The HPLC method used is compliant with ISO 27085, ensuring that the results are reliable and reproducible.
The chromatographic data obtained from the analysis is then processed to identify and quantify the detected pesticides. This process involves comparing the retention times of the detected compounds against a standard solution containing known amounts of each pesticide. The quantification is performed using peak area or height, which is directly proportional to the concentration of the compound in the sample.
The results are reported according to ISO 27085 standards, providing a clear and concise overview of the detected pesticides along with their respective concentrations. This report serves as a critical tool for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams responsible for ensuring product safety and regulatory compliance.
