H

HMF in Syrup (APK #312)

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is formed from fructose or glucose by the heat treatment of food. HMF and its derivates/metabolites are genotoxic, mutagenic and may be carcinogenic, which is why HMF is analysed in various food matrices, such as in fruit and vegetable products, instant coffee and honey.

L

Lactoferrin in goat‘s milk (APK #405)

Lactoferrin (LT) is a glycoprotein, which is one of the group of transferrins. It is an iron-binding protein with a mass of 80 kDa. Lactoferrin has microbial properties against many microorganisms (bacteria, viruses and fungi, including parasites). It is one of the non-specific components of the immune system and has anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties.

Lactoferrin is widely represented in various animal fluids, mainly milk, saliva and tears. It is separated from bovine milk to produce this key ingredients of infant formulas. Lactoferrin is also used as a food supplement to support the natural immune system, gut microbiome and healthy skin.

Lutein in food supplements (APK #413)

Lutein and Zeaxanthin are carotenoids used in various dietary supplements. The task of this application was to develop a method that replaces the dichloromethane mobile phase with non-chlorinated solvents.

M

Monosaccharides, disaccharides and sugar alcohol (APK #354)NEW

The analysis of saccharides and sugar alcohol is one of the most common criteria in food and beverage analyses in the QC departments of manufacturers and the monitoring of authorities. This analysis of sugars and sugar alcohols is also used to detect food and beverage adulteration.

O

Organic acids (APK #355)

The identification and quantitative analysis of major organic acids in fruits and vegetables is considered very important for the food and beverage industry. Organic acids play a significant role thanks to their influence on flavour, stability and keeping quality. Organic acids are generated during the aerobic oxidation of carbohydrates, proteins and fats in most biological systems.

Organic acids (APK #439)

This application shows the determination of tartaric, malic, shikimic, lactic, citric and succinic acids. The quantity balance of these compounds influences on taste and flavor of wines and fruit juices. The ASTRA® column provides the simultaneous determination of organic acids with good peaks resolution at low limits of the concentrations.

P

Preservatives in caffeinated beverages (APK #390)

Sodium and potassium salts of benzoic acid and sorbic acid are well-known food preservatives. The permitted amount in food is strictly regulated with the level depending on the food group. As an example, European regulation EC 1333/2008 sets the rules on food additives: definitions, conditions of use, labelling and procedures.

Preservatives in syrup (APK #356)

Sodium and potassium salts of benzoic acid and sorbic acid are well-known food preservatives. The permitted amount in food is strictly regulated with the level depending on the food group. As an example, European regulation EC 1333/2008 sets the rules on food additives: definitions, conditions of use, labelling and procedures.

S

Stevia glycosides (APK #387)

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a plant used for its sweet taste. It includes glycosides, which are used as sweeteners in the food industry.

Sugars and Organic acids in Balsamic vinegar (APK #561)NEW

Balsamic vinegar is celebrated for its rich flavor, which is the result of a delicate balance between sugars and organic acids. Analyzing these components is essential for producers aiming to maintain quality and create distinct flavor profiles. Sugars, primarily glucose and fructose, contribute sweetness, while organic acids, notably acetic acid, provide the characteristic tang. Understanding the levels of
these compounds helps ensure consistency across batches, enhances the overall taste, and allows for adjustments that create a harmonious balance. Additionally, rigorous analysis supports quality control and regulatory compliance. Many regions impose strict standards on balsamic vinegar production, and regular testing ensures adherence to these guidelines, fostering consumer confidence in the product.
In summary, the analysis of sugars and organic acids in balsamic vinegar is crucial for crafting high-quality products that delight consumers and uphold authenticity in this beloved condiment.

Sugars control in tomatoes and ketchups (APK #555)
