In the fishing industry, product quality control is a key factor in ensuring safety and meeting standards. Analysis of the chemical composition of fish and seafood allows you to identify the content of nutrients and possible contaminants.

Quality control in the fishing industry requires regular chemical composition analysis to ensure compliance with international standards and consumer protection.

The Dumas method is widely used to determine the nitrogen content, including in the fishing industry. For example, there are standards regarding this method for laboratories engaged in the analysis of fish products:

5

AOAC 990.03 – This standard is widely recognized for the determination of crude protein in foods and feeds, including fish and seafood.

5

ISO 16634-1 – This standard defines a method for determining total nitrogen and calculating crude protein content in a variety of foods, including fish and seafood.

5

AOAC 991.20 – “Crude Protein in Fish and Fish Products”

5

ISO 1792:2009 – “Fish and fishery products – Determination of nitrogen content – Method using the Dumas principle”

These standards provide laboratories with the basis to perform accurate and reliable nitrogen and protein determinations, which is important for quality control and nutritional analysis in the fishing industry.

Our Dumalyzer™ CHNS-O Element Analyzers and Dumalyzer™ N/Protein Analyzers are solutions for fishing industry laboratories. They provide a quick and accurate assessment of nitrogen and other elements in fish and seafood, allowing you to monitor product quality and compliance with standards. With these devices, manufacturers can ensure the high quality of fishmeal and oils, improve product safety and protect their brand.
