Onion and Garlic Residue Profiling

Onion and Garlic Residue Profiling

Onion and Garlic Residue Profiling

Onion and garlic are widely used in food processing across various sectors including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and culinary industries. As these products find their way into our daily diets, ensuring the absence of harmful residues such as pesticides, heavy metals, or other contaminants becomes paramount for consumer safety and regulatory compliance.

Our specialized service, Onion and Garlic Residue Profiling, leverages advanced analytical techniques to identify and quantify trace amounts of these potentially hazardous substances. This comprehensive profiling ensures that food products meet stringent international standards set by organizations such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Union's Codex Alimentarius Commission.

Our approach starts with meticulous sample collection, which is critical for accurate residue analysis. Following this, we employ state-of-the-art instrumentation like Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) to detect even the smallest traces of contaminants.

The process involves a series of steps, starting with the extraction of potential residues from the samples. This step is followed by purification and concentration techniques tailored specifically for onion and garlic matrices. Once purified, these extracts undergo precise measurement using highly sensitive instruments capable of detecting parts per billion (ppb) levels.

The data generated during this process are meticulously analyzed to provide a comprehensive profile of all detected residues. This detailed report not only highlights the presence or absence of contaminants but also quantifies them according to accepted limits specified by relevant regulatory bodies. Our service ensures that clients receive reliable and actionable insights into their products' safety profiles.

Furthermore, our team comprises experts who possess extensive knowledge in both analytical chemistry and food science, ensuring accurate interpretation of results and tailored recommendations based on findings. This expertise allows us to offer valuable advice regarding ingredient sourcing, processing methods, or formulation adjustments aimed at minimizing residue levels within acceptable limits.
