ISO 68201 Multi-Mycotoxin Screening in Organic Feed
The ISO 68201 standard provides a robust framework for multi-mycotoxin screening, specifically targeting organic feed. Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi, and their presence can pose significant risks to animal health and welfare. In the context of organic feed production, ensuring mycotoxin-free products is paramount for maintaining both product quality and consumer trust.
Organic agriculture emphasizes sustainable practices, including minimizing synthetic chemical usage. Consequently, farmers and processors must adopt stringent quality control measures to prevent contamination by mycotoxins. ISO 68201 provides a holistic approach to multi-mycotoxin screening that aligns with the principles of organic farming.
The standard outlines comprehensive methodologies for detecting multiple mycotoxins simultaneously in feed samples. It covers various sampling protocols, sample preparation techniques, and analytical methods suitable for diverse organic feeds. This service ensures compliance with international standards while providing actionable insights to improve product safety and quality.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to the ISO 68201 standard, leveraging advanced instrumentation such as Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for precise detection of mycotoxins. The service involves meticulous sample preparation, including extraction, cleanup, and concentration steps tailored to organic feed matrices.
Compliance with ISO 68201 is crucial not only for meeting regulatory requirements but also for enhancing brand reputation in the organic market. This service helps quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams ensure product integrity by identifying potential mycotoxin contamination early in the supply chain.
The scope of ISO 68201 includes screening for a wide range of mycotoxins commonly found in organic feeds such as aflatoxins (AFLAs), zearalenone, trichothecenes, and fumonisins. The methodology ensures accurate quantification and reporting according to international standards.
