Why semicarbazide is not a suitable marker for nitrofurazone in dairy products
For dairy products, adhere to direct measurement of intact nitrofurazone rather than semicarbazide. Because semicarbazide can arise from other sources, such as protein interactions during storage and packaging materials, semicarbazide is an unreliable breakdown marker for nitrofurazone.
Dairy Policies & Economics: Country Report – October 2015
Summary report from members of the IDF Standing Committee on Dairy Policies and Economics (SC DPE) from 14 countries – country reports covering the six months leading up to September 2015.
ISO 19344 | IDF 232: 2015 – Milk, milk products – Starter cultures, probiotics and fermented products – Quantification of lactic acid bacteria by flow cytometry
This International Standard specifies a standardized method for the quantification of active and/or total lactic acid bacteria and probiotic strains in starter cultures used in dairy products by means of flow cytometry. The method is also applicable to probiotics used in dairy products and to fermented milk products such as yogurts containing primarily lactic acid […]
ISO 20649 | IDF 235: 2015 – Infant formula and adult nutritionals – Determination of chromium, selenium and molybdenum – Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
This International Standard specifies a method for the quantitative determination of chromium, selenium and molybdenum in infant formula and adult nutritional formula. The method has been validated in an interlaboratory study on seven different matrices.
ISO 20647 | IDF 234: 2015 – Infant formula and adult nutritionals – Determination of total iodine – Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
This International Standard specifies a method for the quantitative determination of total iodine in infant formula and adult nutritional formula.[1] The method is applicable to the measurement of total iodine in infant formula and adult nutritional formula from 0,5 μg/100g to 1 500 μg/100g reconstituted final product and for ready-to-feed products from 2,5 μg/100 g […]
ISO 16958 | IDF 231: 2015 – Milk, milk products, infant formula and adult nutritionals – Determination of fatty acids composition – Capillary gas chromatographic method
This standard has been withdrawn and replace by the joint standard ISO 16958 | IDF 231: 2026
Bulletin of the IDF N° 478/2015: Interlaboratory collaborative study on a flow cytometry method for lactic acid bacteria quantification in starter cultures, probiotics and fermented milk products according to ISO 19344 | IDF 232
Except for yoghurts, the repeatability limit (r) and reproducibility limit (R) values were calculated to be 0.06 and 0.45 for log10 active fluorescent units (AFU) per gram and 0.07 and 0.38 for log10 total fluorescent units (TFU) per gram. The corresponding values for yoghurts were 0.08 and 0.76 for log10 AFU per gram and 0.10 […]
Bulletin of the IDF N° 480/ 2015: The contribution of school milk programmes to the nutrition of children worldwide
Good nutrition is important for people of all ages. During childhood, good nutrition promotes normal growth and development. Children spend a significant amount of time at school on a day-to-day basis. As a result, the school environment can have a major impact on attitudes to food. Around the world, school milk programmes exist to encourage […]
