ISO 65118 Macrolide Residue Analysis in Dairy Desserts
The analysis of macrolide residues in dairy desserts is crucial to ensure food safety and comply with international standards. The European standard ISO 65118 provides specific guidelines for this analysis, ensuring accurate detection of macrolides such as erythromycin, clarithromycin, and azithromycin.
Macrolide antibiotics are widely used in veterinary medicine to treat bacterial infections in livestock. However, residues from these medications can persist in dairy products, posing potential risks if not adequately controlled. This service utilizes advanced analytical techniques to ensure that the levels of macrolides do not exceed acceptable limits as defined by EU regulations and international standards.
The process begins with precise sample preparation, where raw milk or finished dairy desserts are processed according to ISO 65118 specifications. The laboratory ensures that all samples are handled under controlled conditions to prevent contamination and maintain the integrity of the results.
For the analysis itself, we employ high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), which is one of the most reliable methods for detecting macrolide residues. This technique allows us to achieve high sensitivity and specificity, ensuring accurate quantification even at trace levels.
The detection limits are typically below 0.1 μg/kg, depending on the specific macrolide being analyzed. The method validation process includes calibration curve preparation, recovery studies, and spiked sample analysis to ensure that the analytical procedure is robust and reproducible.
After the analysis, we generate a comprehensive report detailing the results of each test. This report includes all relevant data points such as the concentration of macrolides detected, comparison with acceptance criteria from ISO 65118, and any other pertinent information that may be required for regulatory compliance or quality assurance.
The importance of this service cannot be overstated. Not only does it contribute to maintaining public health by ensuring that dairy products are free from harmful residues, but it also supports the integrity of the food supply chain. By adhering strictly to ISO 65118 and other relevant standards, we provide a reliable service that is trusted by our clients.
To summarize, this service offers detailed analysis of macrolide residues in dairy desserts using state-of-the-art technology. Our approach ensures that every test meets the highest quality standards, providing accurate results that are crucial for regulatory compliance and consumer safety.
