Melamine is used to increase the apparent protein content of foods, but it is a dangerous substance. Advanced scanning techniques are applied in advanced laboratories for the detection of melamine and other food contaminants.
Food safety is a global issue requiring strict legal regulations to protect consumers from both harm and deception. Adulteration of foods with compounds like melamine, added to ensure they meet nutritional standards, results in widespread illness and even death. Trace contaminants and residues from pesticides and fungicides used in the cultivation, processing, and storage of food products have toxic effects in humans, ranging from digestive problems to death. Counterfeit food products mislead consumers and put their health at risk.
Gas chromatography / mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method is generally applied for the analysis of melamine and related compounds, cyanuric acid, ammelide and ammelin in foods. The method used is based on the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) method for screening and validating melamine and related analogues.
Melamine is a chemical compound used in the manufacture of plastics, adhesives, flame retardants, fabrics and other materials. Melamine is not a food item, but has been found in pet foods and other protein-containing products. Its toxicity is due to the combination of melamine and cyanuric acid, which forms insoluble crystals.
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 melamine scanning services.
