This test method is an official method developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the determination of moisture content in meat and poultry products. This gravimetric method is used in regulatory and quality control laboratories to ensure product labeling accuracy and compliance with standards. A known weight of sample is dried in an… Continue reading Moisture – 125°C
This test method is a vacuum‑oven loss‑on‑drying method used to determine moisture and total solids in flour by drying a weighed sample at 98–100°C under reduced pressure until constant weight.
This test method is a standardized method for the analysis of meat samples for mineral and trace element analysis using microwave-assisted acid digestion. This process effectively breaks down the complex organic matrix of meat, converting it into a clear solution suitable for instrumental analysis. This test method quantifies calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium,… Continue reading Minerals [Meat]
This test method is a standardized procedure for the isolation and enumeration of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in food samples. LAB are important microorganisms in food fermentation, spoilage, and safety assessments. This method is commonly used for testing dairy, meat, fermented products, and other foods where LAB are either beneficial or indicators of microbial activity.
This test method is a rapid molecular detection method validated for the qualitative detection of Listeria monocytogenes in food and environmental samples. This method was evaluated and approved under the AOAC Performance Tested Methods program, confirming its reliability and equivalence to reference culture-based methods.
This test method is a validated rapid detection method for the qualitative identification of Listeria species, including but not limited to Listeria monocytogenes, in food and environmental samples. It is approved through the AOAC Performance Tested Methods (PTM) program, ensuring it meets rigorous criteria for sensitivity, specificity, and reliability when compared to traditional reference methods.
This test method determines the color of oils and other transparent liquids by comparing samples to calibrated Lovibond® or Gardner liquid standards, providing a standardized visual evaluation of red/yellow (RYBN) tint and overall Gardner color to ensure consistent color grading across batches.
This test method is a validated gravimetric method for determining crude fat content in meat and poultry products, including raw, cooked, and processed forms. This method uses ether extraction to measure total fat.
This test method involves a combustion (Dumas) procedure for determining crude protein in meat and poultry products. This method measures total nitrogen by high-temperature combustion and calculates crude protein using a nitrogen-to-protein conversion factor.
