Carcinogenic chemical compounds
Nitrosamines are chemical compounds containing nitroso groups. They are mainly formed by the reaction of nitrites with secondary amines, particularly under acidic conditions. These compounds are of particular interest because many of them are classified as carcinogenic.
Precise detection of extremely low concentrations
At GALAB, we offer you the ability to identify nitrosamines in your processed foods and their raw materials. Our aim is to ensure that they do not contain any carcinogenic risks. Using our in-house GC-MS/MS method, we can identify extremely low concentrations of just 0.1 µg/kg – a level far below what many other suppliers can offer.
Monitoring nitrite and nitrate levels
In addition to detecting nitrosamines, we can also analyse nitrite and nitrate in raw materials. This is particularly important as these compounds could potentially form undesirable nitrosamines. Through careful analysis, you can ensure that your ingredients do not contain compounds that could react to form dangerous nitrosamines during processing.
Security for manufacturers of processed foods
If you are a manufacturer of processed foods, it is essential to protect yourself from potential hazards. Regularly analysing for nitrosamines, nitrites and nitrates can help ensure the safety of your products and build customer confidence. At GALAB, we support you by offering precise and reliable analyses.
