Vitamin Analysis & it's Importance

As the general public becomes more conscious of the many effects and benefits of their diet, food manufacturers have to be aware of their ingredients. Transparency, along with solid testing, is crucial to promoting a product in the modern day. Food companies need to go through multiple tests to meet the government-set standards and get ahead in the present competitive market. In light of this situation, it is evident that food testing is crucial to the development and sustenance of any food company. The series of tests especially includes many vitamin analyses for nutritional information. As a result, various Food Testing Labs in Chennai have been established by the government, offering vitamin analysis tests to food manufacturers.

Why Are Vitamins Important?

Vitamins are organic chemicals required by the human body in specific amounts for a healthy body and metabolism. There are 13 essential vitamins that should be incorporated in the diet. Lack of the required vitamins in daily diet can be characterized as deficiency diseases. The amounts of different vitamins required to maintain backup storage to prevent these deficiency diseases are the basis for the calculations of dietary intakes. 

Why Conduct Tests When You Know the Formulation?

While product formulations are available, they are not enough to determine the vitamin content. Being organic molecules, vitamins can be easily degraded, which means that the final product may have a different vitamin composition from the initial ingredients. Many analytical tests have been developed to accurately measure the vitamin content of the product and the effect of degradation on the final value. 

While formulation alone is not enough to determine the vitamin content, it can be used to estimate the value expected from the final product and the observed difference. According to the estimated value, different methods are used by Organic food testing labs in Chennai for various samples.

How do you Analyse vitamin content in food?

Analyzing the vitamin content in food involves several laboratory techniques. Here's an overview of the common methods used High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC):  HPLC is a widely used technique for analyzing vitamins, particularly water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C (ascorbic acid), B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, etc.), and fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E, and K. This method separates and quantifies individual vitamins based on their chemical properties. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS):  LC-MS combines chromatography with mass spectrometry detection to analyze and quantify vitamins in food samples. It offers high sensitivity and selectivity and can be used for both water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins. UV-Visible Spectrophotometry: UV-visible spectrophotometry is commonly used for analyzing vitamin concentrations, particularly for vitamin A (retinol) and vitamin E (tocopherol), which absorb UV or visible light at specific wav...
