ISO 63094 HMF Profiling in Confectionery
The presence of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in confectionery products is a critical concern for food manufacturers. HMF is an unintentional byproduct of the Maillard reaction and other caramelization processes, which can lead to off-flavors and reduced shelf life if present at high levels.
The ISO 63094 standard provides a comprehensive framework for quantifying HMF in various food products, including confectionery. This service ensures that your confectionery products meet the stringent quality standards required by international markets. Our laboratory uses advanced analytical techniques to accurately profile HMF levels and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
Our experienced team of scientists can help you understand the sources of HMF in your production process, identify potential mitigation strategies, and implement effective control measures. By adhering to ISO 63094 guidelines, you can enhance the safety and quality of your confectionery products while maintaining consumer trust.
Key aspects of our service include:
- Sample Preparation: Our lab technicians are skilled in preparing samples for HMF analysis. This includes ensuring that the sample is representative of the batch and free from contamination.
- Analytical Techniques: We employ state-of-the-art equipment to perform precise HMF profiling. Our methods include high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with fluorescence detection, which provides accurate quantification of HMF levels.
- Compliance and Reporting: Upon completion of the analysis, we provide detailed reports that comply with ISO 63094 standards. These reports include recommendations for process optimization and quality improvement.
Our service not only meets but exceeds industry expectations by providing reliable data on HMF levels in your confectionery products. This information is invaluable for maintaining product safety, enhancing flavor consistency, and ensuring compliance with international food safety regulations.
