NUTRITION LABELING MANDATORY NUTRIENT LIST

Regulatory initiatives such as the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act have had a profound impact on the food industry. The adoption of standardized content and format guidelines for nutrition labeling have provided consumers with the tools to plan a balanced diet, as well as given producers data to distance their product from the competition.

INDIVIDUAL ELEMENTS

QUICK REFERENCE

INORGANIC ANALYSISThe method used for the analysis of various elements in food and dietary supplement samples is dependent on both the concentration and the sample matrix. For most elements the precision using any of these techniques is less than 5% RSD.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy (ICP) is used for macro-levels inorganic constituents in all matrices. Usually 10g of sample is either dry or wet ashed, or samples are analyzed directly. The limit of quantitation is based on the individual analyte and matrix, but generally yields detection in the PPM range. A common scan is for calcium, iron and sodium used for nutritional labeling.

Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) is the method of choice when analyzing trace level analytes. It is applicable to all matrices. Usually 0.5 g of sample is wet ashed in a closed-vessel microwave digestion, although other ashing techniques are used. Limits of quantitation are lower than ICP and are dependent on the analyte and matrix, but generally yield detection in the PPB range. A common scan is for arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury used for heavy metal analysis.

Atomic Absorption Spectrospcopy (AA) is used for single analyte measurements using flame, hydride-generation or graphite furnace techniques. This technology, in general, has been surpassed by the advances made in ICP and ICP-MS techniques. Please see the details in the assay section of the catalog for specifics.

STABILITY STUDIES: STABILITY AND SHELF-LIFE EVALUATION

Covance provides comprehensive analytical services related to stability and shelf-life of products for the food and dietary supplement industries. Stability is defined as the extent to which a product retains, within specified limits throughout its period of storage and use, the same properties and characteristics possessed at the time of packaging. Understanding product stability is an essential measure of the quality of a food or dietary supplement. Covance can custom design your stability study from start to finish.

Study Design - Essential Information for Stability Studies

▶ Packaging materials▶ Region the product is being sold▶ Product specifications▶ Type of study (accelerated or real time)▶ Shelf-life anticipated▶ Regulatory requirements (if applicable)▶ Method applicability

Testing Services for Stability Studies

▶ Chemical analysis (nutrients, active compounds)▶ Physical properties (moisture, water activity, disintegration,

hardness, etc.)▶ Organoleptic evaluation (appearance, taste, smell, color)▶ Microbiological evaluation (safety assessment,

antimicrobial preservative effectiveness)▶ Monograph testing (USP or International)

Goals of the Stability Study

▶ Ensure the product is stable over its shelf-life▶ Establish or verify the shelf-life of the product▶ Aid in product research and development▶ Provide data to support the quality of the product over time▶ Fulfill any regulatory requirements

Due to the custom nature of designing a stability study, please inquire on pricing and storage availability.

Typical Stability Studies

Testing Intervals Storage Study Condition (ICH guidelines)Real Time 25°C/60% RH 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 monthsAccelerated 40°C/75% RH 3, 6 monthsAlternate 30°C/65% RH 6, 9, 12 months

PHYTOCHEMICALS

The terms phytochemicals and phytonutrients have been adopted as descriptors for certain organic components of plants that are thought to promote human health. Unlike the traditional nutrients, these compounds are not “essential” for life from a traditional standpoint but are being increasingly recognized as having beneficial health characteristics. As the popularity of these products has increased with mainstream consumers, the use of a variety of dietary supplements, herbals/botanicals and functional foods has expanded and resulted in an intense and competitive marketplace. The ability to scientifically substantiate claims for quality, purity, consistency, stability, safety and efficacy is an essential marketing tool and frequently a regulatory requirement.



METHOD DEVELOPMENT, VALIDATION AND TRANSFER

Responding to changes in market or regulatory requirements demands new or improved high-quality scientific methods engineered for greater efficiency, lower limits of detection and improved reproducibility. As a partner in developing solutions to method challenges, Covance offers the services of our Technical Development team on a contract basis. You can leverage the team’s expertise across a wide range of matrices and technologies, including LC-MS/MS and UHPLC, to address your analytical challenges.

BOTANICALS

For centuries, people have used herbs and other botanicals for their healthful effects, possibly due to their phytochemical composition, and in recent years, the use of these products has experienced a rise in popularity among consumers. This has resulted in corresponding regulatory initiatives and the accelerated need for analytical methods for botanical products. Several regulatory initiatives, including changes to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), address identification testing for botanical ingredients.

FOOD CONTACT MATERIALS (MIGRATION COMPLIANCE)

The potential for migration of indirect additives and contaminants from food contact material is a concern for both food products and dietary supplements. As the design and use of innovative packaging methods change, there is a corresponding effect on the regulatory and experimental guidelines for determining the impact of packaging components on the safety of food and dietary products. In the case of dietary supplements and botanicals, migration could potentially have a negative effect on the efficacy of the active ingredient. When evaluating the safety of packaging materials there are three key aspects to be considered: the source of the materials, the nature of the manufacturing process and the conditions of use.
