Sciantec has added propyl gallate (E310) to its list of antioxidant analysis services for pet food and animal feed. Customers can now order a comprehensive suite of antioxidant testing that includes BHA, BHT and propyl gallate, making it simpler and easier to comply with regulations.
‘To improve its effectiveness as an antioxidant, propyl gallate is often used in conjunction with BHA and BHT,’ said Rachel Rawson, Business Development Executive at Sciantec. ‘We already provide antioxidant analysis services for BHA and BHT in pet food and animal feed. We’ve now made it possible to order analysis of all three antioxidants individually or as a comprehensive suite, depending on customer requirements. By helping determine safe levels of these antioxidants in animal food and feed products, we are not only making it easier for our customers to maintain compliance, but also safeguard the environment and the food chain.’
Antioxidants are additives put into food and feed to minimise the oxidation of fats and oils. In some countries, their use is limited or banned. EC regulation EC1831/2003 refers to the acceptable limits of propyl gallate in various species, which must be complied with in Europe.
‘At Sciantec, we want to give our customers as much choice as possible to help them meet their goals and remain compliant with governing bodies and trade regulations,’ continued Rachel. ‘By adding propyl gallate to our list of antioxidant analysis services, they are getting that choice with reliable and accurate tests that help them determine the levels in their products.’
‘The Cawood Group is dedicated to continuous improvement so that we can provide the very best services possible to meet our customers’ requirements,’ said Sean Stevenson, Cawood Agriculture’s Managing Director. ‘The team’s hard work to expand their services helps the business continue to cement itself as one of the UK’s leading providers of pet food and animal feed analysis whilst supporting a safer, healthier planet.’
