ISO 17025-accredited chemical analysis for food testing in Kenya

What is Chemical Analysis in Food Testing?

Chemical analysis tests food for nutrients, contaminants, and authenticity. Polucon’s ISO 17025-accredited services in Kenya ensure compliance with KEBS and Codex standards for safety and quality.

Why Chemical Analysis Matters

Chemical analysis ensures food safety, quality, and regulatory compliance, protecting consumers, preventing recalls, and maintaining brand trust in Kenya and East Africa.

  • Food Safety: Detects contaminants like heavy metals and pesticides.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Meets KEBS and Codex Alimentarius standards.
  • Consumer Protection: Ensures accurate nutritional labeling.
  • Brand Trust: Verifies authenticity and prevents fraud.

Our Chemical Analysis Services

Nutrient Analysis

Determines macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats), micronutrients (vitamins, minerals), and dietary fiber for accurate labeling and compliance.

Contaminant Analysis

Detects harmful substances like heavy metals (lead, mercury), pesticides, mycotoxins, and allergens, ensuring food safety. See our Food Microbiology Analysis.

Aroma and Flavor Analysis

Identifies volatile compounds for taste and aroma using techniques like gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Authenticity Testing

Verifies food origin using isotopic ratios and chemical markers to prevent fraud in products like honey and olive oil. See our Food Authenticity Testing.

Shelf-Life Determination

Evaluates chemical changes over time to set accurate expiration dates and storage recommendations.

Quality Control

Monitors pH, acidity, moisture, and texture to ensure product consistency and quality.

Methodology and Technology

Utilizes advanced techniques like spectroscopy (UV-Vis, FTIR), chromatography (HPLC, GC), mass spectrometry, NMR, and immunoassays for precise results.
