Mineral analysis includes several methods that help identify the type of mineral. The elements form minerals and rocks. Therefore, in fact, it is essential to test minerals in the laboratory or in the field to understand the historical background of rocks based on data, regions, metamorphic history and related processes. Geologists study various properties to identify minerals in a rock.
Many qualitative and quantitative mineral analyzes are performed in advanced laboratories. Different specific analysis methods have been developed according to the aims of the research and the characteristics of the samples studied. Today, mineral analysis, whether in the mining industry or in the food sector, is extremely important and is widely performed.
The main field of activity of the laboratories is to identify and examine minerals, heavy metals and other elements on demand in food samples, water samples, food contact materials and feed samples.
The main minerals analyzed are sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, chromium, nickel and selenium. Mineral samples are analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS).
Nowadays, food technologies are developing rapidly and consumers are becoming more conscious. Ensuring food safety and quality control is of great importance for people's health and food safety. Mineral analysis is important in determining nutritional values of foods. Studies to determine the presence of minerals that directly affect human health, mienral analyzes in short, are carried out to ensure food and product safety.
Iron, for example, is naturally present in foodstuffs to a certain extent. However, in order to increase blackening, iron containing food dyes are used in the production of black olives. Copper is naturally present in trace amounts in foods. However, copper-containing drugs are used in some agricultural activities.
Zinc is a component of many vitamins and minerals. It has antioxidant properties that prevent premature aging. There is a large amount of meat products and nuts. However, any kind of minerals that are not taken into the body by all natural means are harmful to human health.
The application is received, the contract and then the product, vehicle and vehicles for which, what kind of service is determined exactly.
The necessary laboratory environment is prepared and the products, tools and instruments requested by the organization are tested by experts with the reference of the existing standards and measurements are made.
