Vitamins Testing

Vitamins are a group of substances that are needed for normal cell function, growth, and development, and they are classified as either fat-soluble or water-soluble.

These nutrients are typically obtained through the consumption of food or dietary supplements, which are subject to vitamin testing to meet specific labelling requirements. Vitamins are vulnerable to disintegration, the levels in the food's formulation may vary from the levels in the finished product and vitamin levels can be affected by factors like as processing and storage.

Through our vitamins testing services, Cotecna aims to support clients with its expertise to put safe products on the market to guarantee consumer health and well-being. Vitamins analysis consists of the determination of which vitamins are present and at what levels in different matrices such as food supplements, milk, juices, drink, baby food, cereals, feed and raw material.

Neotron (based in Modena, Italy) and Wimpey Laboratory (based in Dubai), both part of the Cotecna Group, provide analyses of both fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins with LCMSMS/UPLC, state-of-the-art equipment that is used to determine ppb level concentrations. Neotron also provides a complete and integrated analysis to monitor the degradation of the product over time.

The Laboratories offer analyses of both fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins (see Figure 1):
