Within this quality control material, your performance for the analysis of ZON, DON, T-2, and HT-2 in wheat flour will be evaluated.
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi on agricultural commodities in the field or during storage. It is estimated at 25% of the world's food crops are affected, resulting in large commercial losses. Mycotoxins can cause serious health problems (including some being suspected carcinogens) and so are tightly regulated across the world. Mycotoxin contamination is the largest cause of rapid alerts raised against imported food products. Fapas has introduced multi-mycotoxin proficiency tests as well as those for emerging mycotoxins.
Toxins DON and ZON (deoxynivalenol and zearalenone respectively) are included in the highly regulated mycotoxins. Wheat flour incurs many of the same risks associated with poor storage practices. As such the ability to highlight contaminants within flour is of significant importance to protect both manufacturers from loss of reputation and consumers from unsafe produce.
Quality control materials are the perfect way to track your progress against a control. Utilising this as a quality control material can give an ideal platform from which to compare results across a range of operating conditions to track your changes over time. All with the goal of a long term improved testing ability.
Fapas quality control materials can be used to validate whether a testing instrument or process is operating within pre-defined specifications. This validation process makes sure your test results are as close to the true value as possible, and therefore your testing process is as credible as it can be.
