Vitamin B12 Testing in Dairy and Meat Products
The importance of Vitamin B12 testing in dairy and meat products cannot be overstated. Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the production of red blood cells, DNA synthesis, and proper neurological function. In the food industry, ensuring adequate levels of this vital nutrient is crucial not only to meet dietary requirements but also to comply with international standards.
Our laboratory utilizes advanced analytical techniques such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), which are widely recognized for their precision and accuracy. These methods allow us to measure Vitamin B12 levels in dairy products like milk, cream, and yogurt; as well as meat products such as beef, pork, and poultry.
The testing process begins with the collection of samples from production facilities or suppliers. Samples are then prepared according to specific protocols that ensure consistent results. This includes homogenization, dilution where necessary, and ensuring proper temperature control during sample handling. Once prepared, the samples undergo rigorous analysis using our state-of-the-art instruments.
The analytical methods used guarantee high accuracy and precision in determining Vitamin B12 levels within the products. Our laboratory adheres to international standards such as ISO 15195:2016 for HPLC methods and EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.
