Food Additive Detection

Food additive detection

Food additives are not nutritional substances, it is a human under the conditions of consciousness added to the food in small quantities to ultimately achieve a certain purpose, their role is reflected in the flavor, appearance, and organization of the food or storage properties of the improvement. Many businesses for their own interests and disregard for the health of consumers, adding excessive amounts of food additives in food, and some food additives are also banned additives in the region, which is very detrimental to the physical and mental health of consumers. Therefore, the importance of food additive detection technology has been highlighted.

Our Platform

Chromatography

Different foods use different pre-treatment techniques. For beverages, if the composition is simple, dilution is used for processing, while if the composition is complex, extraction techniques are also used to separate the parts one by one before testing.

  • HPLC
  • UPLC-MS
  • HPLC-MS technology
  • Gas chromatography (GC)
  • Capillary micellar electrokinetic chromatography
  • Ion chromatography
Detection of additive in food using MS technology
Thin-layer chromatography (TLC)
  • TLC-GC-M
  • TLC-IR
Molecular spectroscopy
  • Ultraviolet, infrared
  • Fluorescence spectroscopy
  • Raman spectroscopy
Solid-phase extraction technology
  • Solid-phase microextraction technology
  • Matrix solid-phase dispersion extraction technique
  • The molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction technique
  • Immunoaffinity solid-phase extraction technology
  • The magnetic solid-phase extraction technique (MSPE)
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) Biosensors Coupling technology

Key Advantages

  • High-performance, very complex mixtures are well separated.
  • High selectivity, isotopes, isomers and other such substances with similar physicochemical properties are particularly well separated.
  • With high sensitivity, at current detection limit can reach 10-11-10-13 g of the substance.
  • Fast analysis, high applicability, and very wide range.
