Food Cholesterol Testing Service

Cholesterol, a derivative of cyclopentane phenanthrene, is the main sterol in the human body. Cholesterol is one of the necessary substances to maintain the normal physiological functions of the body. However, high cholesterol content in the body may lead to hyperlipidemia, causing atherosclerosis, which in turn induces a series of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as heart disease and hypertension.

The labeling of cholesterol content in packaged foods is the basis of nutrition claims and health claims about cholesterol in the label. The basis for the establishment of the label value is mainly derived from laboratory test data. Consumers can make wise choices based on cholesterol content information and their requirements. It is possible that some regional regulatory authorities may need complete nutrition label information. In some cases where the cholesterol content of a specific food needs to be determined, we are also ready to provide you with high-quality services.

Farms can reduce the cholesterol content in meat products, eggs and other foods to a certain extent by adjusting the types of nutrients in the feeds of poultry and livestock. Therefore, the technicians of feed formula can improve the quality of meat products, eggs and other foods by controlling the cholesterol content in the feed, and win the favor of more consumers.

Alfa Chemistry' experts can provide you with comprehensive food cholesterol testing service. We strictly abide by the quality assurance/quality control plans and regulatory requirements of each country and region to provide you with support. Including but not limited to the following standards and methods: ISO, FDA/BAM, ASTM, AOAC, EU regulations, LFGB, DGCCRF, DM 21/03/1973, JFSL, GB/T and SN.

Food Cholesterol Testing in Alfa Chemistry

1. Detection of cholesterol in food
2. Detection of cholesterol in feed

Food Cholesterol Testing Technology Platform

• Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

After high-efficiency separation of the sample to be tested, it is directly imported into the mass spectrometer for detection, which meets the requirements for sample unity, and can also avoid the complicated process of sample preparation and transfer. It greatly reduces the contamination of the sample, and at the same time maximizes the separation of compounds and the efficiency of qualitative and quantitative analysis.

• High performance liquid chromatography

Waters Xevo -TQ-MS ultra high performance liquid chromatography - triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.

• Gas chromatography

Thermo Scientific^TM TRACE GC 1310 GC.

Acceptable Samples: Almost all raw and processed foods or ingredients. Animal feed.
