Lebensmittelzusatzstoff-Analysen

Oxigen Laboratories, through qualitative (narrative) and quantitative (numerical) analysis of food additives, ensures the compliance of products with standards. Food additives are used to preserve, correct, or prevent unwanted changes in taste, smell, appearance, texture, and other organoleptic properties. However, it is of great importance that these substances are used in accordance with regulations and without harming human health.

Food Additive Analysis:

  • Qualitative (Narrative) Analysis: Determining the presence, identity, and types of food additives used in products.
  • Quantitative (Numerical) Analysis: Determining the amounts of food additives in products and verifying their compliance with national and international standards.
  • Compliance Assessment: Determining whether the maximum limits set for food additives have been exceeded and assessing their compliance with regulations.
  • Foreign Substance and Additive Detection: Checking for the presence or quantity of unwanted chemical substances in food products.

Commonly used and tested additives:

Antioxidants (Ascorbic acid, BHA, BHT, TBHQ, gallates, etc.)
Acidity regulators (lactic, malic, citric, tartaric acids)
Preservatives (benzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzoates (PHB), sorbic acid, sulfur dioxide, natamycin, propionic acid, etc.)
Coloring agents (artificial and natural food dyes)
Sweeteners (acesulfame K, aspartame, saccharin, sucralose, etc.)
The food additives to be used are also checked for purity through purity analysis to ensure their true compliance with standards or product specifications. Purity analyses are critical for both economic control and determining the accuracy of the additive to be added to the product.
