ISO 69437 DON Detection in Pasta By-Products
The presence of Deoxynivalenol (DON), also known as vomitoxin, in food and feed products can have severe implications for human health and animal welfare. Contamination with DON not only affects the quality and safety but can lead to economic losses due to recalls or downgrading of products. The ISO 69437 standard provides a robust framework for detecting DON in pasta by-products, ensuring that these products meet the highest standards of safety.
Our laboratory offers comprehensive services using this internationally recognized standard, providing accurate and reliable results that are crucial for quality management and compliance officers. This service is particularly important as it helps ensure the integrity of food chains and supports sustainable agricultural practices.
The process involves several steps: initial sample collection, extraction, purification, and finally, quantification through advanced analytical techniques. The method ensures precise detection levels down to sub-parts-per-million (ppm), which are critical for ensuring that the by-products meet safety standards set out by international regulations such as ISO 69437.
The significance of this service extends beyond mere compliance; it plays a pivotal role in safeguarding public health and maintaining consumer trust. By offering DON detection services, we contribute to the broader goal of promoting food safety and ensuring that consumers are not exposed to harmful contaminants.
In summary, our ISO 69437 DON Detection Service offers detailed, accurate, and reliable results, which are essential for maintaining high standards in quality management and compliance. This service is vital for ensuring the safety and integrity of pasta by-products, thereby supporting the broader goals of public health and sustainable food production.
Scope and Methodology
The scope of this service includes the detection of Deoxynivalenol (DON) in pasta by-products using ISO 69437. The methodology involves several key steps:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| Sample Collection | Collection of representative samples from the production process. |
| Precipitation and Filtration | Removal of large debris and particles to ensure a clear sample for analysis. |
