We analyze food and animal feed samples aiming to certify their quality, determine contaminants concentration, and prevent microbial contamination.
Routine determinations in foods include:
- Proteins, carbohydrates, water content, ash, sugars, energy value
- Pectin, lignin, cellulose, starch, fiber
- pH, conductivity, acidity, turbidity, alkalinity, salinity
- Phenols, antioxidants, antioxidant activity
- Oils and fats
- Profile of fatty acids
- Potassium, sodium
- Vitamins
- Amino acids
- Total sulfite, sorbic acid, benzoic acid, nitrate – nitrite ions
- Microbiological parameters as appropriate
- Heavy metals (Cr3+, Cr6+, Hg, Cd, Αs, Cu, )
- Mycotoxins, aflatoxins, ochratoxin A
- Allergens
- Pesticide Residues
- Phthalates
- Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
