The basic physicochemical analysis of food includes the following determinations:
In addition to classic methods for basic food analyses, we also offer you tests using spectrometric and instrumental methods.
Among these methods, liquid and gas chromatography are at the forefront, and we use them to determine the content of, for example:
- preservatives, in particular benzoic and sorbic acids and their salts;
- sweeteners: acesulfame-K, aspartame and saccharin;
- sugars, distinguishing between: glucose, fructose, sucrose, lactose and maltose;
- the full range of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) as well as water-soluble vitamins (C, B);
- caffeine, both in beverages and food supplements;
- mycotoxins: deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, ochratoxin A, aflatoxins: M1, B1, B2, G1, G2;
- histamine in fish and fish products;
- Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including: benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b) fluoranthene, chrysene, benzo(b)anthracene and their sum.
- pyrrolizidine and tropane alkaloids
- ethylene oxide (ETO)
- heavy metals
- minerals
Testing of the physicochemical properties of food is not only about safeguarding the health of consumers, but also about meeting the commercial quality requirements of international food trade.
