Foodstuff Analysis

Process Contamination

Accurate results by choosing the appropriate sample preparation techniques.

Unwanted, potentially harmful by-products can form when foodstuffs are processed, for example by refining or heating at high temperatures. These process contaminants can always occur when the foodstuff substances undergo chemical changes and toxic effects can result from these changes.


The analysis of these substances often requires time-consuming sample preparation before the investigations can be conducted. The use of the GERSTEL Multi Purpose Sampler (MPS) and its many possibilities for automated sample preparation is highly beneficial here.


Process contaminants like 3-MCPD can be detected automatically with the GERSTEL 3-MCPD solution.
