Acrylamide
15/09/2025
Food processing can itself produce contaminants due to chemical reactions. One of these processing contaminants is acrylamide which is formed at high temperature in starch rich foods such as potato crisps (chips). It is a potential carcinogen and, although maximum limits in foods are not legislated, monitoring is still routine in the industry.
Within instant coffee high temperatures are used in various processes including the initial extraction & roasting of the coffee bean. This can lead to the formation of acrylamide across the coffee production process.
Although the formation of Acrylamide is accepted, there is yet to be an accepted method of reducing its level within coffee, over that of increased roasting time. This increased roasting can alter the taste and appearance of the end consumer product, and is therefore widely discounted as a poor method to use. It is therefore vital to ensure accurate identification and quantification is undertaken at various stages of the production process, to ensure a safe and high quality product is produced time and time again.
Quality control materials can be effective in tracking improvements in testing ability, and standardising testing practices through staff training measures. Quality control materials can be used as an effective tool for method verification, to ensure standardised and repeatable results across a range of testing environments.
