  Searching for Prohibited Substances

The Addition of Sugar
 
 
The isotope analysis can detect any undeclared and/or prohibited substance in any product, such as sugar. The practice of analyzing the extra sugar added in fruit juices can be successfully traced back to type of sugar, e.g. unrefined sugar. This method of tracing the sugar is used successfully for inspection of the declaration. For this analysis, a sample of the product must be sent to the laboratory. No further reference samples are necessary.


The Addition of Water

The prohibited and/or undeclared addition of water in a product can be proved simply with aid of the isotope analysis. This analysis is used at present for all the fruit juice and wine products. Whether a sample is required depends on the product.


The Addition of Technical Carbon Dioxide

The prohibited and/or undeclared addition of carbon dioxide (carbonating) plays a vital role in the production of sparkling wine. Quality products can be distinguished by inferior qualities. No additional reference samples are required.
 
Practical Example Application

The declaration of a fruit juice reads: "No added sugar". Is that true?
Was the fruit juice or fruit juice concentrate supplemented with water? Was extra carbon dioxide added to the sparkling wine?
