ISO 64227 Multi-Mycotoxin Profiling in Processed Foods
The ISO 64227 standard provides a comprehensive framework for the analysis of multiple mycotoxins in processed foods, ensuring that food safety and quality are maintained. This service is critical for organizations involved in the production, processing, distribution, and sale of food products to prevent contamination by harmful mycotoxins.
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by certain fungi (molds) that can contaminate agricultural crops during growth, harvest, storage, or processing. They pose significant health risks when consumed in large quantities, leading to acute and chronic toxicity effects. The ISO 64227 standard focuses on the simultaneous quantification of multiple mycotoxins using advanced analytical techniques.
Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation such as Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) to ensure precise and reliable detection. We analyze a wide range of processed food products, including but not limited to cereals, nuts, dried fruits, spices, and snack foods.
The service covers the following mycotoxins: aflatoxins B1, G1, M1, and others as specified by the standard. We also provide detailed reports that include raw data, method validation information, and compliance with international standards like ISO 64227.
The process begins with sample preparation, which involves homogenizing the processed food samples to ensure uniformity. The prepared samples are then analyzed using LC-MS for accurate quantification of mycotoxins. Our team of experts interprets the results and provides recommendations for any necessary corrective actions.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to ISO 64227 guidelines, ensuring that all tests meet rigorous quality control standards. This service is essential for maintaining compliance with international regulations and industry best practices.
By leveraging the latest analytical technologies and adherence to global standards, we offer a robust solution for identifying potential mycotoxin contamination in processed foods. Our commitment to accuracy, precision, and thoroughness ensures that our clients can trust the results of their mycotoxin testing.
