Chemical characterisationChemical characterization of food

The chemical characterization of your products ensures food safety and compliance with specifications and legal requirements

The main goals of chemical characterization are:

Specifications and technical data sheet drafting
Quality assurance, by verifying that raw materials or products comply with specifications
The nutritional characterisation of the product
Verification that legal requirements have been met
Food safety monitoring
Analysis and study of possible irregularities such as adulterations, falsifications, etc.
They can also be used as a tool for shelf-life studies.

Food chemical characterisation requires different types of analytical techniques and the necessary human and material resources (personnel, training, equipment, etc.) to implement them. At AINIA we can provide you with the necessary support for your food chemical characterisation needs.

At AINIA we give you value

Chemical characterisation

Our solutions include:

Consultancy when designing control plans that should include checking the nutritional characteristics of products
Providing support in managing the logistics of samples in order to adapt the conditions of collection, conditioning, transport and reception of samples
Analyses are performed using the most appropriate techniques, combining criteria of high reliability, costs and deadlines adapted to our clients’ needs.
Results are delivered through secure and accessible platforms, based on the most advanced information and communication technologies
Consultation to ensure the correct interpretation of the obtained results

Some of our most important services in the field of chemical characterisation of foods include the following:

Oils and fats (Acidity, UV absorption, peroxide value, p-anisidine value, etc.)
Spices (ethereal extract, ASTA colour, acid insoluble ash, pungent power, etc.)
Vegetable products, infusions (essential oils, acidity, brix degrees, alcohol insoluble solids, etc.)
Stability and freshness parameters (Peroxide value, oxidation stability of oils (RANCIMAT) and food (OXITEST), secondary aldehydes (hexanal, pentanal, etc.), T-BARS index, volatile basic nitrogen, histamine, etc.)
Alcohols (methanol, ethanol, glycerol, etc.)
Anions (chlorides, fluorides, bromides, sulphates, nitrates, nitrites, etc.)
Sugars and polyols (fructose, glucose, sorbitol, etc.)
Stimulant products (caffeine, theobromine, etc.)
