Test Description

Olive oil has extensive research into its health benefits, with a larger proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids compared to other substitutes. As such it is in large demand with consumers, from which to ensure only high quality testing methods are used to ensure your customers enjoy credible, repeatable test results.

Pesticides can offer quick wins from which to maintain enough supply to satisfy demand, especially in the short term. Yet if poor farming practices are continually used, both product quality and consumers suffer. High pesticide residue levels are passed to manufacturers and consumers, leading to potential unsafe levels of exposure. It is important to highlight these events quickly and concisely, as such effective testing practices must be utilised to effectively analyse olive oil samples to highlight pesticide residue levels over normal levels.

This blank material is ideal to ensure effective calibration curves are created. This can ensure only high quality test results are found. Blank materials from Fapas are ideal for ensuring matrix matching takes place. By using blank materials as close to positive test samples as possible the matrix effect is dramatically reduced.

Blank materials from Fapas make use of real food matrices to provide the key insights into your routine testing abilities you require. These can be used to maintain the level of accuracy required to satisfy both your customers and regulators of your testing capabilities.

Most countries now have an extensive monitoring scheme for pesticide residues written into their legislation. There are more than 1000 compounds used worldwide as pesticides or plant protection products. When used properly, according to good agricultural practice, any residues can be expected to be below maximum residue limits. The Fapas pesticide residues proficiency tests are based on the EU monitoring list and associated MRLs but are widely applicable to most geographic areas. We also base our statistical data analysis in keeping with quality assurance guidelines as laid out in EC SANTE/11945/2015.
