Who is BS EN 15111-Determination of iodine in foodstuffs for?
BS EN 15111 on the determination of iodine by ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) is useful for:
- Food scientists
- Food technologists
- Food laboratories
- Food health and safety departments
Why should you use BS EN 15111-Determination of iodine in foodstuffs?
Getting high levels of iodine can cause some of the same symptoms as iodine deficiency, including goitre (an enlarged thyroid gland). High iodine intake can also cause thyroid gland inflammation and thyroid cancer.
BS EN 15111 provides you with guidance on apparatus and equipment, sampling, ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry), procedure, calculation, the limit of quantification, precision, test report, etc.
The methods and procedures provided by BS EN 15111 assist you in the determination of iodine in foodstuffs, improving the quality and subsistence of foodstuffs, and ensuring a reduction in the risk to human health due to higher consumption of iodine content.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 15111, you can enhance foodstuffs’ effectiveness and efficacy and manufacture a standardized high-quality product.
