In today's world, food quality and safety are non-negotiable. Public authorities impose ever more strict quality standards and labeling requirements. An efficient, robust, and reliable method to analyze food products is ion chromatography (IC). IC can quantify multiple components in a single run.

Furthermore, inline sample preparation options such as dialysis, filtration, and dilution can be used to eliminate time-consuming sample preparation steps. This makes ion chromatography a powerful analytical technique for quality control in food and beverage testing.

Discover the potential of ion chromatography for modern analytical laboratories in the food and beverage sector with our e-book. The e-book also provides detailed experimental procedures for a wide range of application examples:

• Beverages: analysis of carbohydrates in juice, coffee, and beer, sweeteners and sugar substitutes in soft drinks, cations and anions in beer and water, organic acids and anions in wine, and biogenic amines and cations in wine.
• Additives, Preservatives, Nutrients: analysis of nitrate and nitrite in food, polyphosphates in seafood, sulfite in dried fruits, bromate and iodate in flour, iodate and iodide in salt, and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) in supplements.
• Dairy: analysis of lactose in low-lactose products, carbohydrates in dairy products, iodide in milk, nitrate and nitrite in milk, choline in milk powder formula, and fructans in infant formula.

In addition, the following topics are discussed:
 

• Overview of further ion chromatography applications including relevant standards for the food and beverage industry.
• Metrohm Inline Sample Preparation (MISP) techniques for a more efficient and reliable analysis.
• Different detection methods for ion chromatography.
