Product Testing: Diacetyl Analysis
Monitor Employees Exposure
Centek Labs has been doing product testing on many cooking supplies such as butter-flavored oils, spreads, and low-calorie sprays. When the products are heated or just left in the open atmosphere many VOC’s are released one of them being diacetyl. Recently some findings have seen diacetyl present in processed foods and butter-flavored side dishes. Know what your employee’s levels of diacetyl exposure are by using our quick and easy sampling kits.
Product Testing: Packaging & Materials Analysis
Volatiles in Food Package
Packaging materials and adhesives can outgas volatile compounds into foods and beverages. Even low levels of these compounds can change the flavor of the product or even create a health risk.
Food & Ingredients Analysis
Food & Ingredients AnalysisAnalysis of Chemical Markers in Foods and Ingredients
The composition of volatiles in the headspace of foods and ingredients has shown to change as spoilage occurs. Microbial growth in food products produces unique compounds in the headspace that can be compared to normal headspace components to estimate the extent of spoilage.
Product Analysis: Flavor & Fragrance Analysis
Volatiles in Flavors and Fragrances
Many variables need to be taken into account such as analytical methods, absorbents, and thermal breakdown on protein or sugar containing samples. Large Volume Static Headspace (LVSH) addresses these limitations. Sample preparation is not required other than placing the product in the LVSH chamber.
Product Analysis: Aluminum Cans
Volatile Compounds from Can Coatings
Polymer coated aluminum and steel cans are used throughout the world for packaging foods and beverages. It is known that the different coatings and curing process used can impact the food products in contact with these coatings.
