If you have been using an established probtioic enumeration method with good results, introducing new probiotic strains into your formulas may mean changes need to be made. Read this case study to learn how Eurofins finds a solution to challenging product with multiple strains from multiple manufacturers.
Is your probiotic supplement formulated with both probiotic bacteria and active compounds? If so, getting accurate enumeration of probiotic strains can be a challenge. Learn how our experts in probiotic testing are skilled in finding solutions to tough probiotic formulations in this case study.
This poster describes some of the work Eurofins has conducted on procedures to help control the quality of agave syrups.
Salmonella depends on an effective food safety program supported by robust Salmonella detection methods. Our objective is to explore recovery of Salmonella from a background of probiotic cultures and demonstrate and validate as effective, sensitive method for detecting Salmonella in probiotic cultures to protect public health.
Food safety risks in fruit and vegetable processing environments can come from many different sources. Agricultural items are inherently dirty products, which can introduce risk- including microbial pathogens- to a facility from the outside environment. If your Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP) and sanitation programs are not sufficient to control these risks, these products could be potentially cross contaminating other products that are subsequently processed in the facility. It is therefore imperative that we think about risks from both our incoming products and our processes when designing environmental monitoring programs.
Gummy supplements continue to trend among consumers, but this matrix can be challenging to test. How does Eurofins address these challenges? Read about the answer from Jeff Stassi, Sr. Analytical Services Manager with Eurofins Food Chemistry Testing in Madison, WI.
Does your sample contain any form of animal byproduct? Is your sample being shipped overseas to one of Eurofins’ partner labs for testing? If both these questions are true for your sample, you’ll need a heating certificate to get through customs. This handy infographic shows examples of samples and tests that may require a heating certificate.
Originally showcased at the 2016 annual AOAC meeting, this poster presents data for the “new” variety that will be valuable to anyone who buys or uses this type of fruit for processing.
In this informative webinar, Eurofins SF Analytical scientists explain the considerations your company should factor in to mitigate risk and comply with applicable regulations including new analytical techniques to meet the ever-changing compendia (USP, EP, ACS, FCC/NF, JECFA, etc.)
Fatty acids are carboxylic acids which are typically found in lipids (fats and oils) in plant and animal tissue. These acids are generally named according to the number of carbon atoms in the chain, and the number of double bonds in the chain, for example,C18:1, octadecaenoic acid contains 18 carbon atoms with a single double bond in the chain.
