Milk Testing Information

Milk should ONLY be milk

People trust their milk to be safe, consistent, and unadulterated. Our instruments help in adhering to food label claims, product consistency, purity, and identifying any contaminants and adulterants. Discover our solutions from carbohydrate analysis to vitamin D analysis to choline in infant formula.

Beverage Applications Notebook: Milk

Trace levels of iodide are necessary for normal physical and mental development; however, excess iodide can lead to thyroid disorders. Within the dairy industry, iodophors are used as disinfectants, which can also lead to increased iodide consumption by the public.

Choline in Infant Formula and Adult Nutritionals, a Single Laboratory Validation

Choline is a water-soluble quaternary amine essential to methyl metabolism, transmembrane signaling, and normal brain development. Choline is present in many foods and also exists in esterified and bound forms. 

Determination of Anions in Breast Milk

Breast milk is the primary source of nutrition for newborns before they are able to eat and digest other foods, so there is a close correlation between breast milk quality and infant health.

Analysis of Plasticizer Contaminants in Beverages and Milk using an Automated System Based on Turbulent-flow Chromatography Coupled to LC-MS/MS

Phthalates are endocrine active chemicals used in a variety of consumer products. In some markets, restricted levels of certain phthalates are permitted for use in food contact materials, but they are not permitted as direct food additives. 

Determination of Choline in Infant Formula and Other Food Samples by Ion Chromatography

Choline is a water-soluble micronutrient vital to cell membrane integrity, support of methyl group metabolism, and nervous system activity. It plays an important role during the perinatal period. In recognition of its nutritional importance, choline is a required additive in many infant formulas.
