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 proficiency tests which encompasses this area of interest.
This reference material provides the opportunity to analyse for preservatives in jam (conserve). Preservatives in foods such as benzoic acid, citric acid and sorbic acid are used as antibacterials and antifungals in jams to ensure that the food stays safer for consumption for longer. The levels permitted in this type of food are laid down in the European Parliament and Council Directive No 95/2 EC for 20 February 1995 on food additives other than colours and sweeteners.
Jam has many different varieties, and as such testing environments can differ significantly from sample to sample. As such it is imperative to ensure that your testing processes can stand up to scrutiny when challenged.
Fapas reference materials can be used to standardise your testing processes, through staff training and instrumentation calibration, but to a higher degree of accuracy than can be achievable with quality control materials alone.
Fapas reference materials are fully traceable, from accredited institutions, so you are sure to achieve valuable insights into your testing ability
