Glyphosate Analysis in Foods
Monitoring of Glyphosate in crops and water is mandated in many countries. Pickering offers a sensitive and robust HPLC method for analysis of Glyphosate in soy beans, corn and sunflower seeds. This method utilizes a simplified sample preparation procedure that has proven to be effective even for challenging matrices.
Analytical Challenges in Measuring Migration from Food Contact Materials
November 2nd 2015Food contact materials contain low molecular weight additives and processing aids which can migrate into foods leading to trace levels of contamination. Food safety is ensured through regulations, comprising compositional controls and migration limits, which present a significant analytical challenge to the food industry to ensure compliance and demonstrate due diligence. Of the various analytical approaches, LC-MS/MS has proved to be an essential tool in monitoring migration of target compounds into foods, and more sophisticated approaches such as LC-high resolution MS (Orbitrap) are being increasingly used for untargeted analysis to monitor non-intentionally added substances. This podcast will provide an overview to this area, illustrated with various applications showing current approaches being employed.
