ISO 33821 Pesticide Screening in Rice-Based Products
The ISO 33821 standard provides a robust method for screening pesticides in rice-based products. This service ensures the safety and compliance of food products with international standards, helping to safeguard public health by detecting harmful residues that could otherwise pass unnoticed.
Rice is a staple crop worldwide, making it vital to ensure its quality meets global regulatory requirements. Pesticide residue testing plays a critical role in this regard as it helps identify potential contamination risks and ensures compliance with local and international standards such as ISO 33821. The standard outlines a rapid screening procedure that allows laboratories to assess the presence of pesticides without extensive sample preparation, making it suitable for large-scale quality assurance programs.
The testing process involves several key steps: first, the rice sample is ground into fine powder and then extracted using either solvent or sonication methods. After extraction, the solution undergoes a clean-up step where unwanted components are removed to leave only the pesticide residues behind. Finally, the cleaned extract is analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with ultraviolet detection.
The service we offer focuses on ensuring that rice-based products comply with ISO 33821 guidelines. Our laboratory uses state-of-the-art HPLC equipment and experienced technicians to provide accurate results within the specified timeframe. Compliance with this standard is crucial for maintaining food safety standards globally, especially in markets like Europe, Asia, North America, and Australia.
Our service also includes providing detailed reports on detected residues, including their concentrations and identification details. These reports are essential for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams who need to ensure they meet regulatory requirements and maintain product integrity.
