Detecting the levels of heavy metals, which can cause cancer, neurological problems, and cardiovascular diseases when consumed, is extremely important in the food industry. In advanced laboratories, heavy metal analyses are carried out, for example, to determine arsenic levels in baby foods and fruit juices, to determine the presence of lead, mercury, and other hazardous metals in nutraceuticals , to detect cadmium levels in farmed fish feed, and to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements limiting nickel in all areas of the food and beverage industry.
Lead and cadmium are pollutants commonly found in grains and are extremely toxic. Lead is harmful to human organs even at trace levels, and when it accumulates in the body, it prevents the formation of hemoglobin and causes neurological disorders. Cadmium, on the other hand, is a carcinogenic element, causing fatal kidney problems, as well as brittle bones and liver problems.
Rice, one of the most consumed grains, can quickly absorb heavy metals such as lead and cadmium from toxins, pesticides and fertilizers in the soil, thus endangering the health of millions of people. Therefore, simple and reliable analytical methods have been developed to monitor lead and cadmium levels in rice.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. These studies are based on the latest technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and modern methods. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are also services for the determination of contaminants - heavy metal analysis in foods.
