ISO 54603 Sucralose Residue Testing in Beverages
The testing of sucralose residues in beverages is crucial to ensure compliance with international standards and regulatory requirements. ISO 54603 provides a robust framework for quantifying the presence of sucralose, an artificial sweetener widely used in food and beverage products. This method ensures that manufacturers can reliably detect and control the level of sucralose in their final products.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 54603 guidelines, utilizing advanced analytical techniques such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with Diode Array Detection (DAD). This approach guarantees accurate measurement, repeatability, and precision. Sucralose is known for its stability, which makes it challenging to detect in beverages due to potential interactions with other components.
The testing process involves several critical steps:
- Sample preparation: Beverages are filtered and concentrated if necessary.
- Precise weighing of the sample to ensure accurate measurement.
- Cleanup of the sample using solid-phase extraction (SPE).
- Analytical determination through HPLC-DAD, ensuring high sensitivity and specificity.
Our expertise in this area ensures that we can provide reliable results. The method's accuracy is validated by comparing our findings against known standards, which are regularly updated to reflect the latest scientific advancements. This rigorous approach helps us maintain a high standard of service for our clients.
