ISO 34128 Sodium Nitrite Residue Analysis in Meat Products
The analysis of sodium nitrite residues in meat products is a critical process, especially for food safety and quality assurance. Sodium nitrite (NaNO2) is widely used as a preservative to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes and Campylobacter jejuni. It also enhances the color stability of meat products, which is essential for maintaining consumer satisfaction.
The standard ISO 34128 provides a robust methodology to determine sodium nitrite residues in meat products. This service ensures that food producers and manufacturers can comply with regulatory requirements by ensuring accurate and reliable testing results. Our laboratory adheres strictly to the procedures outlined in ISO 34128, which involves several key steps:
- Sample Preparation: Samples are prepared according to the specified guidelines for homogeneity.
- Extraction Process: The extraction process is designed to liberate sodium nitrite from the matrix of the sample, ensuring complete dissolution without altering its form.
- Detection and Quantification: Advanced analytical techniques are employed to detect and quantify the presence of sodium nitrite in the extracted solution accurately.
The precision and accuracy of this analysis are crucial for maintaining food safety standards. Misreporting or incorrect quantification can lead to legal consequences, consumer distrust, and potential health risks associated with excessive consumption of nitrites.
