Aminoacid Testing services

Amino Acid Testing for Food, Dietary Supplements and Pharmaceuticals

Amino acid content of a product provides information for an informed decision about formulation, nutritional properties, and quality. Tamil Nadu Test House offers services for testing amino acids in India for food, dietary supplements, and pharmaceutical items. Amino acid profiles are analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as appropriate to the sample type and agreed testing requirements.

Whether you are designing a protein supplement, testing an ingredient, or testing a finished product, our staff can help you define an appropriate testing regime.

What Is Amino Acid Analysis?

Amino acid analysis is a method that is utilized to determine the identity and quantity of amino acids present in a sample. It is a valuable tool in various fields, including biochemistry, nutrition, and forensics, since it offers insight into protein structure, composition, and function.

Amino acid analysis is the identification and quantification of specified amino acids in a material. These chemicals are the building blocks of proteins, and their composition can provide useful information on protein-containing substances and finished products.

Depending on the testing purpose, the analysis may be on free amino acids or total amino acids. Free amino acid testing tests for amino acids that are not bonded to anything. A common method for the determination of total amino acids requires a pretreatment step to liberate the amino acids from proteins before analysis. The preparation and analytical approach has to be compatible with the target chemicals and sample matrix.

Our Amino Acid Testing Capabilities

Tamil Nadu Test House provides amino acid analysis by HPLC for food and medicinal industries. We offer testing for the chemicals leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, methionine, threonine, phenylalanine, histidine, arginine, glycine, alanine, serine, proline, and tyrosine.

In our analytical portfolio we also include glutamic acid, aspartic acid, cystine, tryptophan, ornithine, and taurine. Different compounds may require different preparation or testing settings. Please clarify the panel needed with our team. One preparation process may not fit all analytes necessarily.

Testing Products

Our amino acid profiling services are applicable to the following product categories:

• Protein powders: Whey protein powders and other protein-containing formulations.
• Dietary supplements: Products that contain proteins or additional amino acids.
• Food products: Prepared meals, wet foods, pickles, and baby foods.
• Pet food: Products that require evaluation of selected amino acid content.
• Pharmaceutical products: Drug formulations and capsules, subject to method appropriateness.

Please provide the ingredient list, product form, and desired analysis prior to sample submission. This also helps our lab determine if the testing you ask for is the right fit for your product.

Benefits of Amino Acid Profiling for Your Business

• New Product Development
  Teams can use amino acid composition data to compare ingredients and inform formulation decisions. Testing can help evaluate variations between development samples and finished formulations.
• Nutritional Assessment
  Amino acid profiling data can support nutritional assessments by food and supplement manufacturers. Any labelling or marketing claims should be evaluated against applicable requirements and the scope of the analysis.
• QC (Quality Control)
  We can test batches against agreed requirements for specific amino acids. Results should be interpreted alongside other relevant product testing, production information, and acceptance criteria.

How We Test

Begin with consulting our team about your testing goal and sample. Before verifying the testing scope, we review the product category, needed analytes, and accessible specifications.

Once needs have been agreed, we provide advice on sample submission and a quotation. Samples submitted are prepared and analyzed in accordance with the agreed scope. The report that follows presents the results of the requested tests.

FAQs

1. Test whey protein and supplements?

Yes. Sample categories offered include whey protein powders and dietary supplements. Please contact us to see if it is suitable for your formulation.

2. Do you have free and complete amino acid analysis?

Yes. Discuss your objective with our laboratory so that the proper analysis and preparation needs may be established.

3. What size and turnaround are needed?

They vary on the product, analyte panel, and extent of testing. We will check both when we assess your enquiry.
