Food Additives and Raw Materials Testing
Neotron is able to test food and feed products for a whole range of food additives as defined by EU regulations, European Pharmacopoeia (EP), American Pharmacopoeia (USP), Food Chemical Codex (FCC), Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and other official sources.
The analysis of raw materials and additives play an important role for the control of the production chain both in the food world and in the herbal-pharmaceutical world.
Food additives are ubiquitous ingredients that are intentionally added to food products for a technological purpose in production, processing, preparation, treatment, packaging, transport or storage of food products themselves.
All food additives are kept under continuous observation and must be re-evaluated, if necessary, considering changed conditions of use and new scientific information.
Thanks to its experience in this field, Neotron is able to provide validated methods for their quantification and provide information on their compliance with regulations in force.
Our Analytical Services
Validated analytical procedures for the different types of additives, guarantee the production of accurate and repeatable analytical data. The techniques used range from instrumental techniques such as GC, LC, ICP and spectrophotometry to titrimetric and weighting techniques.
Legislative References
Permitted food additives for human use are defined and regulated by European Regulations 1333/2008 and 231/2012. Feed additives are defined in Regulation 1831/2003 and listed in the European Register for Feed Additives.
