Application of mass spectrometry in food safety

Application of mass spectrometry in food safety

The food that we eat strongly influence the quality of our life and the Health status. Food safety issues are getting more and more attention, and many additives are added to food for prevent bacteria growing and ingredients degrade. Although these additives have been accepted by EU regulation, the damage to the body from these additives has occurred from time to time. For example, the process of growth of bacteria and yeast produces unknown molecular components to contaminate food, like toxins.


Techniques for detecting the structure and potential toxicity of these unknown agents are another important parameter for examining food quality. Mass spectrometry enables the comparison of thousands of data and identifies related compounds through a specific mass spectral database.


The choice of chromatography vial in mass spectrometry is also critical. Aijiren recommend a thread chromatography vial for the characteristics of mass spectrometry. The stability of this chromatographic vial material determines its position in food safety analysis. Aijiren is one of the largest chromatography consumables manufacturer in south of China.
