Adulteration and food safety
Precise and reliable analysers capable of measuring low analyte concentrations are essential for detecting food adulteration and ensuring food safety
Food adulteration is a serious issue because it compromises the safety and purity of food products, posing health risks to consumers. Analytical methods are crucial to detect and measure contaminants, ensuring food quality and safety.
Trace analysis presents unique challenges for both devices and analytical methods. Matrix effects are usually more pronounced for trace analytes. Metrohm offers integrated sample preparation, such as pre-concentration or matrix elimination, to ensure highly accurate results.
Metrohm operates in over 80 countries with more than 50 subsidiaries and 30 exclusive distributors. Take advantage of our global application expertise and service no matter where you are.

- 410000019-BQuantification of methanol in contaminated spirits with Raman
Methanol, often present in spirits prepared with industrial solvents like wood alcohol, can lead to blindness and even death when ingested. After an incident involving methanol-laced alcohol in the Czech Republic, they adopted Raman spectroscopy as the preferred method for identifying and quantifying methanol in contaminated spirits, following an exhaustive study using various screening tools. This Application Note discusses the reasons why Raman spectroscopy is the ideal choice for this application and shows a real-world example of Raman analysis of methanol-laced rum.
- AN-PAN-1061Inline detection of wheat flour adulteration by NIR spectroscopy
Adulteration in the food industry is a significant concern due to potential health risks and changes in product quality and nutrition. Detecting such adulteration is challenging, however, to ensure high-quality products, precise measurements during the manufacturing process are essential for identifying any contamination in raw materials and final products. This Process Application Note details the inline analysis of potato starch in the wheat flour manufacturing process with a 2060 The NIR Analyzer from Metrohm Process Analytics.
