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.
