Identification Testing of Powdered Health Food by IR Pilot™

Introduction

The Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Guidelines describe requirements that companies must observe across all processes from acceptance of ingredients to packaging and shipping of final products in order to guarantee that products are manufactured appropriately, safely, and with consistent quality. In industries that handle foods and pharmaceutical products, companies are already obligated to observe GMP requirements, and perform tests to confirm that the components and their amounts in foods and drugs are as indicated on the label and the products are free of safety and quality issues. In recent years, a legal obligation to observe GMP in health food and supplement manufacturing processes has also been imposed in Asian countries. This article introduces an example of identification testing of a powdered health food product using the dedicated IR Pilot program, which is an analysis navigation tool of Shimadzu LabSolutions IR software.
