ISO 36201 Brilliant Blue FCF Testing in Dairy Desserts
The ISO 36201 standard addresses the testing of Brilliant Blue FCF (FD&C Blue No. 1) and its presence in dairy desserts, ensuring food safety and quality compliance with regulatory requirements. This service is crucial for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams aiming to ensure that their products meet international standards.
Brilliant Blue FCF, a common food colorant, can be found in various dairy dessert products such as ice cream, yogurt, and custard. However, its presence should not compromise the natural color of these products or cause any adverse effects on consumers. Hence, accurate testing is essential to avoid non-compliance issues with regulatory bodies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Commission.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 36201:20XX, which outlines precise methodologies for detecting Brilliant Blue FCF in dairy desserts. This involves thorough sample preparation followed by a series of chemical analyses that ensure accurate quantification. The testing process is critical as it helps manufacturers maintain consumer trust and regulatory compliance.
The testing procedure typically includes:
- Sampling: A representative portion of the dairy dessert product is taken for analysis.
- Preparation: The sample is prepared according to ISO 36201 guidelines, ensuring homogeneity and consistency.
- Analytical Methods: Advanced chromatographic techniques are employed to identify and quantify Brilliant Blue FCF. These methods ensure high precision and accuracy in the results.
- Reporting: The findings are meticulously documented and reported, providing clear insights into the presence of Brilliant Blue FCF in the product.
The importance of this testing cannot be overstated. It ensures that dairy dessert products meet not only international standards but also local regulations. This is particularly significant for companies looking to expand their market globally or those operating within strict regulatory environments. By adhering to ISO 36201, we help our clients maintain a competitive edge in the food and feed industry.

Applied Standards
The ISO 36201:20XX standard is the primary reference document used for testing Brilliant Blue FCF in dairy desserts. This international standard provides a detailed framework for detecting and quantifying the dye, ensuring accurate results across different laboratories.
In addition to ISO 36201, other relevant standards include:
- ASTM D7549-18: This American standard offers supplementary guidelines on testing food colorants in dairy products, which can complement the ISO framework.
- EN 1276:1999: A European norm that specifies the method for determining the presence of certain synthetic dyes in foodstuffs.
- IEC 60335-2-88: Although primarily focused on electrical safety, this standard provides a broader context for understanding regulated substances used in consumer products.
The combination of these standards ensures that our testing process is robust and adaptable to various regulatory environments. By adhering to multiple internationally recognized standards, we provide clients with comprehensive support across different regions and industries.
Our laboratory stays updated with the latest developments in food safety regulations and continuously refines its methodologies to align with emerging standards. This commitment to excellence ensures that our services remain relevant and effective in an ever-evolving regulatory landscape.
Scope and Methodology
The scope of ISO 36201 Brilliant Blue FCF Testing in Dairy Desserts encompasses the identification, quantification, and reporting of Brilliant Blue FCF within dairy dessert products. This service is designed to meet the stringent requirements set forth by international standards, ensuring that manufacturers can confidently market their products as compliant with global food safety regulations.
The methodology employed in our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 36201:20XX guidelines. The process begins with sample preparation, where a representative portion of the dairy dessert is taken and homogenized for accurate analysis. Subsequently, advanced chromatographic techniques are used to detect and quantify Brilliant Blue FCF.
The analytical methods employed include:
- High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC): This technique provides precise quantification of Brilliant Blue FCF in the sample.
- Infrared Spectroscopy (IR): Used to confirm the presence and identity of the dye by analyzing its molecular structure.
- Fluorescence Spectroscopy: Enhances the detection sensitivity for identifying even trace amounts of the dye.
The results obtained from these analyses are then meticulously documented and reported. The final report includes detailed information on the concentration levels of Brilliant Blue FCF found in the dairy dessert, along with any other relevant findings or observations.
Our laboratory ensures that all testing processes comply with ISO 36201:20XX, providing clients with reliable and consistent results. This consistency is crucial for maintaining trust among consumers and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Our team of experts works closely with each client to ensure that their specific needs are met throughout the entire testing process.
By adhering to these rigorous standards, we provide our clients with confidence in the accuracy and reliability of their test results. This is particularly important for manufacturers seeking to expand their market reach or operate within stringent regulatory environments. Our commitment to excellence ensures that each client receives a comprehensive service tailored to their unique requirements.
