CHEMICAL TESTING
FOOD CHEMICAL TESTING SERVICES
Core Catalyst Food Sciences can perform ISO-accredited chemical testing of pH, water activity, and moisture content. We can help ensure that your product is not only safe for consumption, but also provides the best taste, texture, appearance.
pH testing is integral to food safety and determining shelf life, as well as determining if a product must be refrigerated or shelf-stable.
Water activity testing is crucial because bacteria grow in high water activity. Additionally, molds and yeasts cannot grow as well in lower water activity. Safety, stability and overall shelf life all relate to water activity.
Moisture content is a critical element of food composition. The nutritional facts of a product are tied directly to moisture content, as well as texture, shelf life, water separation, APC, and more.
Chemical testing can provide valuable insight into chemical and physical hazards. With these results, improvements in ingredients and components can be made to improve the food production design.
Our team of experts can work to provide specific information to help comply with regulations and help create nutritional labels.
