Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the importance of ensuring food safety and authenticity for food and nutraceutical producers. It highlights the risks of economic adulteration and introduces Adulterant Screen solutions by PerkinElmer as a preventive measure.

Adulterant Screen Solutions
Adulterant Screen software is designed for use with FT-IR and NIR systems to detect adulterants in food products. It allows for pass/fail screening without the need for sample preparation or scientific expertise. The software integrates with existing verification processes and provides customizable workflows and results visualization.

Applications in Food Products
  • Liquid Milk: Detects adulteration with substances like cane sugar or urea.
  • Powdered Milk: Screens for contaminants like melamine and other unknown threats.
  • Olive Oil: Identifies adulteration with other oils such as hazelnut or sunflower oil.
  • Honey: Tests for purity against additives like high-fructose corn syrup.
  • Spices: Prevents the use of dyes like Sudan Red in products like saffron.
  • Maple Syrup: Ensures purity against cheaper sugar additives.
  • Nutraceuticals: Verifies ingredient purity to maintain public confidence.


Detection Capabilities
The software targets known adulterants and screens for unknown threats using statistical probabilities and semiquantitative estimates. It employs a principal components model to reduce false negatives and uses proprietary statistical residuals analysis for detecting abnormal spectral components.

Method Development and Results Visualization
Adulterant Screen methods can be developed easily using Spectrum Touch interface and Spectrum Workflow Developer module. Results can be visualized using TIBCO Spotfire software, allowing for trend analysis and metadata correlation.

Hardware Platforms
  • Spectrum Two: A compact, rugged spectrometer suitable for various applications, featuring OpticsGuard humidity shield.
  • Frontier: A flexible system with automated range switching and superior detection capabilities, adaptable for future threats.


Conclusion
Adulterant Screen solutions provide a comprehensive approach to detecting economic adulterants, ensuring food safety and quality. The systems are designed for ease of use, high sensitivity, and adaptability to new threats.
