There are thousands of ingredients used to make our foods. These ingredients have useful functions that enable consumers to enjoy flavourful, nutritious and safe food. Additives, colourings and preservatives all play a part in the ingredients we see in our foods today and they perform a variety of useful functions in foods that consumers take for granted. However, these ingredients need to be monitored too to ensure that the levels added are not in excess of the appropriate guidelines or that a banned ingredient/component is not being added deliberately or unintentionally. For this reason Fapas provides a wide range of quality control materials which encompasses this area of interest.
Sulphur dioxide is widely used in the food industry for its properties as a preservative and antioxidant. Whilst harmless to a healthy person when used in recommended concentrations, it can induce health problems to some more sensitive people, even at low levels. The amount of sulphur dioxide in foods is limited by regulation in the UK and by directive in the EEC.
Dried apricots can be perceived as being a healthy addition to your diet and as such can be consumed often as part of a balanced diet by health-conscious consumers. Although this may be the case, dried apples by definition have an improved shelf life compared to their undried counterparts. This shelf life is increased further through the use of preservatives.
Preservatives, and food additives in general, can have various advantages for both manufacturers and retailers when holding stock, or making the product more attractive to consumers. Although most are safe in controlled quantities it is important to employ robust testing techniques from which to produce accurate testing results when identifying these additives.
Fapas quality control materials should be used to track your testing ability throughout the year. They can also be used to act upon your proficiency testing results, and confirm improvements made as a result of your participation.
By using real food matrices Fapas quality control materials provide highly comparable results against your routine analysis. This allows swift actions to be taken to safeguard high quality testing performance for your customers to enjoy.
