ISO 30079 Magnesium and Zinc Measurement in Nutritional Products
The importance of mineral content, particularly magnesium and zinc, cannot be overstated when it comes to nutritional products. These trace elements play a crucial role in various physiological processes within the human body, including bone formation, immune function, and energy metabolism. Ensuring accurate measurement is paramount for maintaining product integrity and compliance with international standards.
Our service adheres to ISO 30079, which specifies methods for the determination of magnesium (Mg) and zinc (Zn) in nutritional products. This standard ensures precision, reliability, and consistency in analytical results across different laboratories. The procedure involves several steps, including sample preparation, digestion using acid solutions, and subsequent analysis through flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry or graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
Sample preparation is critical for accurate results. Samples must be homogenized to ensure uniformity before being digested with nitric acid and perchloric acid under controlled conditions. This step ensures complete dissolution of the sample matrix, allowing for accurate quantification of the target elements. The digestion process also helps eliminate interference from other compounds that could affect the measurement accuracy.
The analysis itself utilizes advanced atomic absorption spectroscopy techniques, which offer high sensitivity and selectivity. These methods provide precise measurements down to parts per million levels, making them suitable for even the most minute concentrations of magnesium and zinc in nutritional products. Once analyzed, results are reported against reference materials or certified standards provided by international organizations such as NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology).
Compliance with ISO 30079 is essential not only to meet regulatory requirements but also to build consumer trust. By adhering to this standard, manufacturers can demonstrate their commitment to producing high-quality nutritional products that are safe and effective.
