Fast and Reliable Analysis of Food and Feed by XRF Technology

"Simple, Accurate, and Precise Elemental Analysis of Food and Feed  Products"

Analysis of food guarantees that contaminants are monitored and that foreign particles within the food matrix are detected. Other quality control applications include the inspection of mineral supplements and other vital mineral elements.

Food safety thereby remains a critical issue. Longer food chains of processed groceries require safety concepts such as HACCP (Hazard analysis and critical control points), which ensure safe edibles at any point in the production chain. Scientists and inspectors could not deliver without reliable analytics.

Food safety applications are manifold. Examples include the analysis of:

  • Mg, Ca, and Fe in milk powder
  • The ash content (through Na, Mg, K, and Ca oxides) in pet food
  • Heavy metal contamination
  • Metallic foreign matter residues from processing plants
  • Counterfeit screening
  • Regulatory compliance, e.g. Cl compliance for salt labeling requirements for snack foods (NaCl, KCl, and CaCl2)
  • Fortification processes, often through Fe and Ca in rice and dairy products
  • Product control, e.g. of brighteners (TiO2)

Why XRF?

Modern X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometers offer several key advantages:

  • No or minimal sample preparation required
  • Short time to result
  • Low operation costs
  • Wide range of concentrations and elements
  • No re-calibration necessary
  • Ease-of-use (no dedicated lab-staff required)
