Milk Surfactant Testing
Milk surfactants play a crucial role in various industries including dairy processing, food manufacturing, and personal care. These compounds are known for their ability to reduce the surface tension of liquids, making them indispensable in enhancing product quality and efficacy. Our milk surfactant testing service ensures that products meet stringent international standards and customer expectations.
Our laboratory utilizes advanced analytical techniques such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to provide accurate, reliable, and reproducible results. These tests are conducted in strict accordance with international standards like ISO 12985 and ASTM D7067.
The testing process begins with the careful selection of samples, followed by thorough preparation ensuring that all variables affecting test outcomes are controlled. Our team employs precise methods to analyze surfactant concentration, molecular weight distribution, hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB), and other critical parameters relevant to milk surfactants.
Understanding the environmental impact of surfactants is also a key aspect of our testing process. We evaluate biodegradability using standardized methods like OECD 301 series tests, ensuring that our clients can offer environmentally friendly products. Additionally, we provide detailed reports on surfactant stability under various conditions and their potential interactions with other components in dairy processing.
Our expertise extends beyond just technical analysis; it includes providing insights into how these results translate to product performance and consumer satisfaction. By leveraging our deep understanding of industry trends and regulatory requirements, we help companies optimize their formulations for better outcomes.
