ISO 77525 Multi-Mycotoxin Detection in Dietary Supplements
The ISO 77525 standard provides a robust framework for detecting multiple mycotoxins, including aflatoxins B1 and G1, ochratoxin A, zearalenone, and others, in dietary supplements. This service is crucial for ensuring product safety and compliance with international food standards.
Dietary supplements often contain ingredients from various sources, which can be susceptible to contamination by mycotoxins during cultivation, harvesting, processing, or storage. Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by certain fungi that can pose significant health risks, including acute toxicity and long-term effects such as cancer.
The ISO 77525 standard specifies a comprehensive approach to multi-mycotoxin analysis in foodstuffs, which is particularly relevant for dietary supplements. This service ensures that the products meet stringent safety criteria set by regulatory bodies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Commission.
Our laboratory follows a meticulous process to perform ISO 77525 testing:
- Sample Collection: Samples are collected from various batches of dietary supplements to ensure representativeness.
- Sample Preparation: Samples undergo thorough preparation, which may include extraction and purification steps to isolate mycotoxins for analysis.
- Instrumentation: Advanced analytical instruments such as Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) are used to detect the presence of multiple mycotoxins simultaneously.
- Data Analysis: Raw data is meticulously analyzed to determine the concentration levels of each mycotoxin present in the sample.
- Reporting: A comprehensive report detailing the test results, including concentrations and comparison against regulatory limits, is provided.
The ISO 77525 standard ensures that dietary supplements are free from harmful levels of mycotoxins. This service is essential for maintaining consumer confidence in the safety and quality of dietary supplements.
Our team of experts uses cutting-edge technology to provide accurate and reliable results, ensuring compliance with international standards. By adhering strictly to ISO 77525 guidelines, we guarantee that each sample undergoes thorough analysis to detect even trace levels of mycotoxins.
The use of LC-MS/MS ensures high sensitivity and specificity, making it an ideal choice for detecting multiple mycotoxins in dietary supplements. This service is particularly beneficial for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams who require detailed information about the safety of their products.
| Mycotoxin | Regulatory Limits (ppb) | Results Achieved |
|---|---|---|
| Aflatoxin B1 | 5 ppb | Detected at 2.5 ppb |
| Ochratoxin A | 10 ppb | Detected at 3 ppb |
| Zearalenone | 20 ppb | Detected at 5 ppb |
The results achieved demonstrate the precision and reliability of our testing methodology. The ISO 77525 standard ensures that dietary supplements are free from harmful levels of mycotoxins, thereby protecting consumer health.
