ISO 92751 Ash Content Profiling in Dairy Meal
The ISO 92751 standard provides a precise method for determining the ash content of dairy meal, which is critical for ensuring consistent quality and compliance with regulatory standards. This service is particularly valuable for quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams working in the food and feed industry. The ash content of dairy meal reflects the mineral content present after organic matter has been burned away at high temperatures.
Understanding the ash content allows stakeholders to make informed decisions about ingredient quality, nutritional value, and potential impacts on animal health when incorporated into feed formulations. By profiling the ash content according to ISO 92751, laboratories can provide detailed insights that support strategic business decisions and compliance with international standards.
The process involves several steps including sample preparation, ashing in a muffle furnace, and subsequent cooling and weighing of the residual ash. This method ensures accurate measurement by eliminating volatile components such as water and carbon dioxide from the sample. The resulting data is crucial for assessing the mineral content and overall quality of dairy meal.
This service is essential for ensuring product integrity and compliance with international standards like ISO 92751, which guarantees consistency in ash content analysis across different batches or suppliers. It helps in identifying any anomalies that could affect the nutritional profile or safety of the feed product.
Scope and Methodology
| Aspect | Description |
|---|---|
| Sample Preparation | The sample is weighed accurately to within 0.1 mg, then dried in an oven at 105°C ± 3°C until a constant mass is achieved. |
| Ashing Process | The dried sample is placed in a muffle furnace and heated to 525°C ± 25°C for one hour. The temperature is then increased to 800°C ± 10°C, held for two hours, and finally cooled. |
| Weighing of Residual Ash | The cooled ash is weighed accurately to within 0.1 mg using an analytical balance. |
| Repeatability | A series of replicate tests should be conducted, and the results compared to ensure consistency in measurements. |
The process involves a meticulous approach ensuring that all steps are meticulously followed. This ensures accurate and reliable ash content profiling as per ISO 92751 standards.
