ISO 42383 HMF Quantification in Syrups
The quantification of hydroxy-methylfurfural (HMF) is crucial in food and feed testing, particularly for syrups. HMF is a byproduct of non-enzymatic browning reactions that occur during the processing, storage, or aging of foods containing reducing sugars such as fructose and glucose. High levels of HMF can indicate poor quality control processes, leading to potential safety issues and reduced shelf life.
ISO 42383 provides a standardized method for determining HMF in syrups. This service is essential for ensuring compliance with international standards, maintaining product integrity, and protecting consumer health. Understanding the HMF content helps manufacturers identify potential processing inefficiencies or contamination risks, enabling them to implement corrective measures promptly.
Our laboratory employs advanced analytical techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for precise quantification. These methods offer high accuracy and reliability, ensuring that the results meet stringent industry standards.
The testing process involves several key steps: sample preparation, extraction, derivatization if necessary, and finally, analysis using HPLC or GC-MS. Each step is critical to obtaining accurate quantitative data on HMF levels in syrups. Proper sample handling ensures that the results reflect the true state of the product without introducing errors.
Compliance with ISO 42383 not only enhances the reputation of your brand but also fosters trust among consumers and regulatory bodies. It demonstrates a commitment to quality and safety, which are paramount in today’s competitive market. By offering this service, we contribute significantly to maintaining food safety standards globally.
Our experienced technicians ensure that every test adheres strictly to ISO 42383 guidelines. This includes using certified reagents, calibrated instruments, and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Regular calibration of equipment and validation of methods guarantee consistent and accurate results. Our expertise in handling complex samples allows us to deliver reliable data even when dealing with challenging specimens.
In summary, quantifying HMF in syrups according to ISO 42383 is vital for maintaining product quality and ensuring compliance with international regulations. It helps identify potential issues early on, allowing for timely interventions that can prevent costly recalls or reputational damage. By partnering with our laboratory, you gain access to state-of-the-art facilities and skilled professionals dedicated to delivering accurate, reliable results.
