ISO 62714 Beta-Carotene Quantification in Feed Supplements
The ISO 62714 standard provides a robust and accurate method for quantifying beta-carotene, an important nutrient for poultry and livestock feed additives. This test is critical for ensuring that feed supplements meet the required specifications set by international standards and regulatory bodies.
Beta-carotene is a provitamin A found in many plants and is essential for maintaining healthy immune systems, skin integrity, and vision. In feed supplements, it acts as an antioxidant, improving animal health and productivity. The accurate quantification of beta-carotene ensures that the feed meets the necessary nutritional requirements.
This service involves several key steps:
- Sample preparation: Homogenization and extraction of the sample to ensure a representative sample for analysis.

Scope and Methodology
The scope of the ISO 62714 standard includes the quantification of beta-carotene in feed supplements. The methodology involves several key steps to ensure accurate and precise results:
- Sample preparation: The sample is homogenized and extracted using a solvent that effectively dissolves beta-carotene.
- Instrumentation: High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with diode array detection (DAD) is used to separate and identify the components of the extract, specifically focusing on beta-carotene.
- Data analysis: The software used in conjunction with HPLC provides a quantitative measure of beta-carotene concentration in parts per million (ppm).
The standard specifies detailed procedures for each step to ensure that the results are consistent and reliable. This includes precise methods for sample preparation, calibration of instruments, and data interpretation.
By following these steps meticulously, we can provide accurate quantification of beta-carotene in feed supplements. The use of HPLC with DAD ensures that even trace amounts of beta-carotene are detected and measured accurately. This method is particularly useful for ensuring compliance with international standards and regulatory requirements.
