This Fapas quality control material is a comprehensive fat analysis to include total fat, saturates, mono-unsaturates, poly-unsaturates and total trans fatty acids. Individual fatty acids may be available for reporting depending on the final fatty acid profile of the test material.
Fat is an essential part of the human diet, supplying nutritional components that the body needs in order to function. Too much fat in the diet, especially of nutritionally undesirable forms, can give rise to health problems. Hence, fat is subject to labelling requirements on food products and analyses are targeted towards this compliance.
As mixed fat spreads enjoy a large amount of consumption worldwide, the opportunities to adulterate and produce low quality products become more and more widespread. To combat this, effective testing should be utilised to highlight and quantify any products which may be of low quality, allowing manufacturers take decisive actions to improve and maintain a high quality supply chain.
Fat analysis can not only highlight potentially low quality or adulterated produce, but can verify labelling requirements for consumers that are increasingly health conscious and interested in their food.
Through this quality control material your current testing ability can be evaluated and critiqued. It is important to maintain only high quality testing standards to ensure your test results are credible and repeatable. This is especially important within the highly competitive food testing environment we live in.
