This material is rice, which is provided as powdered rice. The analytes of interest on this occasion are Aflatoxins. Aflatoxin is a potent carcinogen produced by the Aspergillus flavous and Aspergillus parasiticus moulds which commonly grow and can be found in rice. Testing against quality control materials maintains this high level of testing by providing a benchmark from which to evaluate your quality control methods, strengthen testing practices, or highlight any areas to improve within your laboratory methods.
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi on agricultural commodities in the field or during storage. It is estimated at 25% of the world's food crops are affected, resulting in large commercial losses. Mycotoxins can cause serious health problems (including some being suspected carcinogens) and so are tightly regulated across the world. Mycotoxin contamination is the largest cause of rapid alerts raised against imported food products. Fapas has introduced multi-mycotoxin proficiency tests as well as those for emerging mycotoxins.
To maintain the high quality testing needed to identify accurately these potentially unsafe levels, well-designed quality assurance processes should be put into practice. Fapas quality control materials can be used within this to standardise your testing practices through staff training arrangements, as well as proving integral to achieving accurate testing instrumentation through verification uses.
