Food & Beverage Testing Supplies Frequently Asked Questions

How do I test the fat content of milk, cream or cheese?

The Gerber method is the standard routine test. What happens is the sample is mixed with sulphuric acid and amyl alcohol in a butyrometer. It's then spun in a centrifuge. The fat percentage is now read straight off the graduated stem. There is different butyrometers for covering milk, cream, cheese and butter. The Mojonnier method gives a reference gravimetric result. Ocon Chemicals has got butyrometers, Mojonnier tubes, racks, water baths and reagents. All in stock and ready to be shipped to you!

What is the phosphatase (ALP) test? And how does it confirm pasteurisation?

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme that’s naturally present in raw milk. It is destroyed by correct pasteurisation. A negative ALP result confirms that the milk was properly pasteurised. Because of this it's a key food-safety check for dairies. Rapid tests give a result in minutes. Ocon Chemicals supplies ALP tests. Including Zymosnap ALP plus acid phosphatase reagents for checking cooked products.

What is the resazurin test for milk quality?

The resazurin test is a very quick dye-reduction test. It's for the bacterial quality and hygiene of raw milk. Resazurin is added. As bacteria metabolise, the dye changes from blue through pink to colourless. The faster and further the change means the higher the bacterial load. It's used a lot for rapid milk grading. Ocon Chemicals has got resazurin tablets, discs, viewing stands and kits.

How do I test for antibiotic residues in milk?

Antibiotic (beta-lactam) residues must be screened before milk goes into the supply chain. Microbial inhibition tests like Delvotest and rapid lateral-flow tests such as TwinSensor and DipSensor detect residues above regulatory limits. They give clear positive or negative results on-site or in the lab. Ocon Chemicals supplies them all. Delvotest, TwinSensor and DipSensor. And related antibiotic-residue test kits for dairy producers and processors.

How do food producers test for allergens like gluten and milk (casein)?

Food manufacturers always verify allergen controls and labelling. They use rapid lateral-flow sticks. This is for quick on-site screening. And they use ELISA kits for quantified laboratory results. GlutenTox detects gluten. For example to support gluten-free claims below 20 ppm. AlerTox covers casein and milk. It checks surfaces, rinse water and finished product. Ocon Chemicals has got all GlutenTox and AlerTox sticks and ELISA kits.

How do I check oils and fats for rancidity (peroxide value and free fatty acids)?

Oil and fat quality is monitored with peroxide value (PV). This measures primary oxidation and free fatty acids (FFA) or acidity. This is what measures hydrolytic rancidity. Systems like the CDR FoodLab give fast photometric results from small samples. Oleotest offers a quick check of frying-oil quality. Ocon Chemicals has CDR FoodLab analysers, PV and FFA tests and Oleotest.

What equipment do I need for sampling food and dairy products?

Doing sampling correctly protects your result accuracy. Cheese triers take core samples from blocks and wheels. Sterile dippers, ladles and scoops collect liquids and powders without contamination. And dedicated tubes and flasks hold milk samples. Single-use sterile samplers are good for hygiene-critical work. Ocon Chemicals can supply to you cheese triers, sterile dippers, ladles, scoops and milk sample containers. And we have them in a range of sizes.
