Test Description

Soft drinks contain a variety of additives used to enhance flavour, shelf life, nutritional composition and quality. All of which create the unique taste of each product. However in cola drinks the levels of phosphoric acid and caffeine are regulated.

Laboratories involved in the analysis of cola can maintain high quality testing across the range of analytes and techniques through robust quality control practices, with quality control materials forming a vital tool for success.Total sugars are also included within this quality control material as a sum of individual sugars.

In order to provide a high quality product, is important to give consumers a true choice, be it through correct nutritional value labelling or other means, using proficiency testing is paramount to maintain this.  Accurate testing is also key to providing effective support and protection of product qualities such as flavour, which adds to the product's unique selling points in a competitive consumer market. Without robust testing practices and quality control procedures, both food and beverage manufacturers and consumers are vulnerable to lower quality products that may not be safe to consume or could have a negative effect on the consumer brand and reputation.

Fapas quality control materials make use of real food matrices to provide direct comparisons to your routine analysis activities. This ensures any improvements made as a result of using Fapas quality control materials are relevant and useful for your current testing arrangement.

Quality control activities such as staff training and instrumentation verification, can be undertaken effectively using Fapas quality control materials.
