Testing complex botanical matrices using HPTLC goes beyond simply running a sample through a machine—it requires a deep understanding of both the plant material’s unique properties and the strengths and limitations of HPTLC. In this article, we’ll explore the intricacies of testing complex botanical samples using HPTLC, highlighting the challenges involved and how this technique can effectively overcome them—even in the most complex matrices.
(HPTLC) has established itself as the preferred analytical tool for identification of botanical samples. As with any analytical method, validating the HPTLC method is crucial to ensure that it produces reliable, accurate, and reproducible results. In this article, we will explore the process of HPTLC method validation, why it is necessary, and the critical parameters to consider.
Discover how increasing tariffs on agricultural commodities may heighten the risk of food fraud within global supply chains and explore key strategies to safeguard product integrity.
Sugar reduction is a growing priority in product development as consumers seek to address concerns related to sugar consumption. Removing sugar from a formulation presents several challenges beyond just replacing its sweetness. This article walks through considerations that must be made for a successful sugar reduction strategy.
Food safety risks in fruit and vegetable processing environments can come from many different sources. Agricultural items are inherently dirty products, which can introduce risk- including microbial pathogens- to a facility from the outside environment. If your Environmental Monitoring Program (EMP) and sanitation programs are not sufficient to control these risks, these products could be potentially cross contaminating other products that are subsequently processed in the facility. It is therefore imperative that we think about risks from both our incoming products and our processes when designing environmental monitoring programs.
