- More and more consumers want to eat healthily. Accordingly, the demand for foods with a higher vitamin content is rising. Many foods such as infant formula, baby food and milk are fortified with vitamins to ensure an adequate supply.
- However, vitamin fortification is an expensive process. Manufacturers face the challenge of using vitamin blends cost-effectively while still ensuring that the vitamin content stated on the label is still there at the end of the shelf life. Therefore, vitamin content has to be determined quickly, sensitively and reliably.
Improve laboratory efficiency through multi-analyte testing
- Most traditional analytical methods are unable to meet the new challenges of determining vitamins at low levels with high selectivity. In addition, the demand for time-saving multi-analytical approaches is growing.
- Newer HPLC-based analytical methods can determine many types of vitamin in a single analysis. However, sample preparation has to be performed separately for each analyte.
- R-Biopharm Rhône recently introduced a new affinity column for the simultaneous analysis of many types of vitamin in many types of products. Biotin, folic acid and vitamin B12 are extracted from the sample at the same time. A fast and convenient clean-up can be performed before detection by HPLC or LC-MS/MS, leading to less chromatographic interference and lower detection limits.
