ISO 91356 Aspartame and Sucralose Profiling in Infant Foods

ISO 91356 Aspartame and Sucralose Profiling in Infant Foods

The ISO 91356 standard is widely recognized as a pivotal tool in ensuring the safety and quality of infant foods. This service focuses on profiling aspartame and sucralose, two common food additives and preservatives, to ensure they meet stringent regulatory standards set forth by international bodies such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

As part of this process, we analyze infant foods for these sweeteners using advanced analytical techniques. The aim is not just compliance but also to provide insights that help in maintaining product integrity and safety. Compliance with ISO 91356 ensures that the levels of aspartame and sucralose are within acceptable limits, thereby safeguarding the health of infants consuming these products.

The testing procedure involves a series of steps designed to ensure accurate and reliable results. Specimens are first prepared carefully following standard protocols. This preparation includes ensuring the sample is representative of the batch being tested. Once the samples are ready, they undergo rigorous analysis using state-of-the-art analytical instruments such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). These techniques allow for precise quantification of both additives in complex matrices like infant formulas.

After the analyses, detailed reports are generated. These reports not only provide numerical results but also offer interpretations that help stakeholders understand how these findings relate to broader food safety concerns. The insights gained from this profiling exercise can be instrumental in refining manufacturing processes or adjusting ingredient formulations if necessary.

The importance of adhering strictly to ISO 91356 cannot be overstated, especially when dealing with infant foods where even small deviations could have significant health implications. By leveraging our expertise and cutting-edge technology, we ensure that every test conducted aligns perfectly with the requirements outlined in this international standard.

In summary, our service offers more than just compliance; it provides a comprehensive approach to monitoring aspartame and sucralose levels in infant foods through meticulous preparation, advanced analytical methods, and thorough reporting. This ensures not only regulatory adherence but also contributes towards enhancing consumer confidence by delivering high-quality products.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does ISO 91356 differ from other standards for food additives?
ISO 91356 specifically targets aspartame and sucralose in infant foods, providing detailed protocols that ensure accurate quantification of these specific sweeteners. Unlike broader standards which may cover multiple additives or a wider range of products, ISO 91356 focuses solely on these two compounds within the context of infant nutrition.
What kind of specimens can be tested under this service?
We accept a variety of specimens including infant formulas, powdered milks, and any other products intended for infants. Our team ensures that all samples are handled appropriately to maintain their integrity throughout the testing process.
How long does it typically take to get results?
Turnaround times vary depending on the complexity of the sample and workload, but generally, we aim to deliver results within 7-10 business days. For urgent cases, our express service option can reduce this time significantly.
Do you offer training sessions for staff?
Yes, we provide tailored training programs aimed at enhancing your team's understanding of ISO 91356 compliance. These sessions are conducted by our experienced professionals who can answer any questions and guide you through the implementation process.
What if I have special requirements?
We understand that every client has unique needs. Should you have specific requirements or additional testing parameters, please let us know during consultation. Our flexible approach allows us to accommodate these needs without compromising quality.
Is certification included in this service?
Certification is an optional extra provided upon request. It adds a formal validation layer to your results, which can be particularly beneficial for regulatory submissions or internal documentation purposes.
Can you assist with interpreting the results?
Absolutely! Our team comprises experts who are well-versed in interpreting ISO 91356 test results. They can provide detailed explanations and recommendations based on your specific requirements, ensuring that you fully understand what the data means for your product.
What instruments do you use for analysis?
For this service, we employ High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), which are recognized as the gold standards in analytical chemistry. These instruments offer unparalleled precision and accuracy necessary for detecting even trace amounts of aspartame and sucralose.
