Plant-based Foods Testing Solutions

Plant-based food are commonly defined as processed foods derived from fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds and their derived ingredients. For food processors it is of paramount importance to make sure that incoming raw material does not contain any harmful contaminant and rich of good nutritional properties. Our solutions can help to monitor all the parameters you need to make sure that your food meets the expected high standards of today’s world in terms of quality and safety.

Analysis of Sugars in Maple Syrup by HILIC with Refractive Index Detection

Maple syrup, a common natural sweetener, is consumed regularly by households around the world. Quantification of sugar content in maple syrup is paramount to satisfy product labeling requirements and ensure label-claim accuracy. Although sucrose is the primary sugar component in maple syrup, a complete identification and quantification of the other complex carbohydrates, including glucose, fructose and maltose, is essential. In this application note, a robust and efficient method for the determination of the four aforementioned complex carbohydrates is presented. Utilizing an LC 300 HPLC system, a hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) technique is utilized with subsequent detection achieved utilizing an LC 300 Refractive Index (RI) detector.

Determination of Arsenic in Baby Foods and Fruit Juices by GFAAS

Arsenic can find its way into food through a variety of paths. In the recent past, various organic arsenicals were used as herbicides and antimicrobial agents in growth fields as well as applied directly on fruits and fruit trees. This application note shows a method that can be successfully applied to the determination of arsenic in baby food and Fruit Juices. The Multiwave 3000 Digestion System gave completely digested, clear samples with no loss of arsenic during the high temperature, high pressure process. The AAnalyst 800 with longitudinal Zeeman-effect background correction gave good spike recoveries with no matrix interference.
