Test Description

Carrots are a well-known root vegetable that enjoy large amounts of consumption across the globe.  Carrot matrix is now provided in addition to the existing green leafy vegetable matrices.

Nitrate and nitrite mostly derive from fertilisers used in agriculture and are used as food preservatives.  They are often detected in contaminated drinking water, cured meat products as well as fruits and vegetables. Exposure at high levels can result in severe health issues. Regulatory limits exist for nitrate and nitrite in a variety of food products in the EU and elsewhere.

Nitrates are a valuable chemical within grown foods such as a range of vegetables. It has an important role to play when preserving foodstuffs as well as improving flavour in certain foods. However, high, sustained levels of nitrates in human diets can cause negative effects and lead to potentially harmful consequences.

Quality control materials from Fapas make use of real food matrices, from which to ensure direct comparisons can be made with your current routine analysis activities. This can ensure any areas of improvement are relevant and concise to action in an efficient way, to pass directly to your customers and regulators alike. These are invaluable to ensure your testing ability is competitive within a saturated business environment.
