ISO 22186 I IDF 245: 2020 Milk and milk products – Determination of nitrofurazone
This document specifies a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method for the quantification of the inhibitory substance, nitrofurazone, in milk and milk products. The method has been validated for measuring trace levels of intact nitrofurazone to levels down to 1 ng/g in fluid milk and powdered dairy products on a whole product (i.e. powder) […]
ISO 22579 I IDF 241: 2020 – Infant formula and adult nutritionals – Determination of fructans – High performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD) after enzymatic treatment
This document specifies a method for the determination of inulin-type fructans (including oligofructose, fructooligosaccharides) in infant formula and adult nutritionals (both powder and liquid) containing 0,03 g/100 g to 5,0 g/100 g of fructans in the product as prepared ready for consumption. The method has been validated in a multi laboratory study[1] with reconstituted standard […]
Issue 3: IDF Dairy Sustainability Outlook
The 3rd edition of IDF’s Dairy Sustainability Outlook showcases ongoing activities and the latest initiatives to ensure sustainable dairy, including new approaches to agriculture, quality education, improved milk quality, development of rural areas through dairying, strong international cooperation and climate commitment achievements.
Bulletin of the IDF N° 504/2020: New applications of MIR spectrometry: Quality assurance practices with new parameters in raw milk analysis
Traditionally applied for quantitative determination of major components of milk, MIR Filter apparatus techniques have been used for a long time. Recently, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) collects high-spectral-resolution data over a wide spectral range. Thanks to additional prediction models developed by researchers and instrument manufacturers, FT-IR spectra can be used beyond quantitative determination of major […]
Bulletin of the IDF N° 505/2020: The contribution of school milk programmes to the nutrition of children worldwide – Edition 2020
School milk programmes are common in many countries around the world, for good reason. The benefits of providing school children with milk are plentiful. Dairy’s well-known natural nutrient richness provides an abundant supply of high-quality protein, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iodine, and vitamins B2 and B12. Analysis also shows that a quality education, combined with a […]
ISO 23293 | IDF 247:2020 – Milk-based infant formula powders – Quantification of whey protein content by sodium dodecyl sulfate-capillary gel electrophoresis (SDS-CGE)
This document specifies a method for the determination of the whey to casein protein ratio, ranging from 20:80 to 80:20 in cow milk-based infant formula powders. This method does not apply to the analysis of infant formulas containing hydrolysed protein or proteins from other sources (e.g. plants or milk from other mammals).
Bulletin of the IDF N° 503/2020: Global Marketing Trends, Understanding changes in dairy consumption around the world
Based on responses received to a global survey, this IDF Bulletin shares key challenges currently faced by marketers within the dairy sector and anticipated future trends. The second edition updates the version previously published in 2017. Keywords: dairy products, consumption trends, food trends, dairy, milk, butter, cheese, cream, yoghurt, ice cream, consumption, demand, consumption habits, […]
ISO 23291 I IDF 248: 2020 – Milk and milk products – Guidelines for the application of in-line and on-line infrared spectrometry
This document gives guidelines for using infrared spectrometry in in-line and on-line applications for dairy processing. These applications are distinct to those covered in ISO 21543 | IDF 201. It is applicable, but not limited, to: — the determination of protein, fat and total solids in liquid milk and milk products using mid and near […]
ISO 16297 I IDF 161: 2020 – Milk – Bacterial count – Protocol for the evaluation of alternative methods
This document specifies a protocol for the evaluation of instrumental alternative methods for total bacterial count in raw milk from animals of different species. NOTE The document is complementary to ISO 16140-2 and ISO 8196 | IDF 128 (all parts). Standard only available in English
