Food inspection can be divided into two major items, one is to detect the quality of products; The second is to test the health of the product, the detection of this type of project is relatively difficult and high investment. Health items include microorganisms, additives, hazardous elements, agricultural residues, animal residues, toxins, etc.

Microorganism:

The construction of a microbiology laboratory should be arranged in accordance with the requirements of the biological laboratory equipment and equipment specifications. The necessary equipment is clean table, incubator, autoclave, electric furnace, etc., and other equipment is configured according to the specific test project.

Additives and harmful elements:

Some projects can use chemical methods, but want to meet the current national standards of food hygiene requirements, should buy gas chromatography-hydrogen flame detector, liquid chromatography-ultraviolet/visible light detector, atomic absorption meter - graphite furnace detector, atomic fluorometer, etc.

Residual pesticide:

Detection of pesticide residues by gas chromatography is indispensable. Electron capture ECD detector is needed to detect organochlorine pesticides. The detection of organophosphorus pesticides requires a flame photometric FPD detector or a nitrogen and phosphorus NPD detector. Now more and more items of agricultural residue detection, in order to improve the versatility, it is recommended to configure capillary column shunt/non-shunt inlet and install capillary chromatographic column. Export food processing enterprises in order to make good production of raw materials and product quality, can configure gas chromatography-mass spectrometer.

Veterinary drug residues:

If there are few items and many batches for the detection of residual veterinary drugs, an enzyme-linked immunoassay can be configured. For export food enterprises with a certain scale, it is best to configure a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer.
