Foreign materials and off-odor or off-flavors in a product may result in loss of consumer trust or a damaged brand reputation. In the worst cases, these issues can be dangerous. The first step in eliminating foreign material and off-odor or off-flavor risk is understanding the sources of contamination, including packaging and production issues and chemical and microbial contamination. This blog explains the benefits of foreign material, off-odor, and off-flavor analysis, the sources of contamination, and the tests available for testing.
The Hemp Industry often needs support for testing the safety and quality of their products from seeds to finished products. Read this white paper to learn more about
how developers can make use of hemp-specific analytical tests, including potency,to ensure their products are safe and deliver the highest quality, key factors to
establishing and maintaining a role in today’s competitive cannabinoids marketplace.

Off-flavor and off-odor issues can damage your brand reputation and even result in recall. Watch our webinar to learn how Eurofins uses gas chromatography with mass spectral detection (GC-MS) to provide solutions for off-flavors, off-odors, and flavor scalping caused by improper product packaging, or production or transportation issues. This webinar was originally recorded on October 01, 2020.
While advanced technology often takes center stage in discussions about scientific accuracy, the age and preparation of samples are equally critical. By prioritizing the seemingly small details, researchers can ensure that their findings stand up to scrutiny and contribute meaningfully to scientific progress.
As the industry looks ahead, the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) offers a pivotal launch point for 2026 and a chance for producers and processors to explore new solutions that strengthen operations. This webinar is designed to help you get a head start. Join us for a preview of the key issues, trends, and testing strategies we’re watching for the year ahead. Originally Aired on December 10, 2025
In the dietary supplement and ingredient industry, protecting consumer health and meeting regulatory expectations are nonnegotiable. One critical aspect of quality control is residual solvent testing. Residual solvents, volatile chemicals used during manufacturing, can remain in products if not properly removed.
As the pet supplement market continues to expand, particularly in preventative care, accurate quantification of MSM has become essential. Manufacturers require robust analytical methods to ensure that label claims are substantiated and that formulations meet quality standards while complying with AAFCO ingredient definitions and state feed regulations.
When evaluating fiber testing approaches, it’s important to review how results differ across sample matrices tested by both the new and previous methods. More laboratories are implementing the Rapid Integrated Dietary Fiber Methods - AOAC Official Methods 2017.16 and 2022.01. The AOAC 2017.16 method measures the insoluble fiber fraction (IDF) and soluble fiber fraction that precipitates in 78% ethanol (SDFP) together, and separately measures the soluble dietary fiber not precipitated in 78% ethanol (SDFS) by HPLC.
