Testing the quality of milk and dairy products

From primary production to the final product, many steps need to be controlled and monitored to obtain high-quality and safe products. R-Biopharm test kits can be applied throughout the entire production chain: from intermediate ingredients to the final product, from goods inspection to hygiene monitoring and finally product analysis for accurate labelling. Our range of test formats can be used to analyse: • Milk and milk powder • Cheese • Yoghurt • And many other dairy products.

Reasons for analysing milk and dairy products at different production stages:
• Control the authenticity and authentication of raw materials
• Purity control
• Hygiene status control
• Determination and control of parameters for nutritional information
• Control of formulation suitability
• Compliance with official regulations
• Quality control

1. Incoming material control

Poor-quality incoming materials make poor-quality products. Therefore, testing all raw materials is the first important step in the production process to ensure product consistency and minimise material costs, product rejection and rework. With our many test formats and parameters you can check whether documents comply with legal requirements and verify whether your own parameters are met by your suppliers.
Classifying non-conforming documents first is spent to handle them is one of the costs.
effective methods to ensure consistent quality of the final product. Protect your process right from the start!

Testing:
• Microbiology / hygiene
• Aflatoxin M1
• Antibiotics
• Hormones & Anabolics
• Blended products
• Acids, sugars and other components
• Allergens
• Vitamins

2. In-process control

Quality requirements for food and beverages such as milk are very high. Regular in-process control is essential to ensure the safety, consistency and shelf life of the final product. In addition, you can monitor certain components and spoilage organisms to ensure that the processes are running. This will ensure batch-to-batch consistency, minimise quality and economic losses and prevent poor-quality products.

Testing:
• Microbiology / hygiene
• Acids, sugars and other components
• Allergens
• Vitamins

3. Final product / labelling control

The final product must match all quality criteria before being sent to the customer. This includes control measures to eliminate all hazards such as cross-contamination with allergens and pathogenic organisms. Furthermore, products must be labelled according to current regulations, which often change by country and by product. R-Biopharm test kits help you label your product correctly and ship it with confidence.
