日本食品機能分析研究所 List of Products and Services

The Japan Food Function Analysis Institute analyzes food additives such as preservatives and synthetic colorings. We measure the quantities and confirm the safety of the products. In addition to verifying the usage of additives, it is also important for checking contamination due to secondary pollution. Using high-performance liquid chromatography, we quickly report analysis results in accordance with official methods (Food Sanitation Inspection Guidelines). [We respond to requests such as the following] ■ I want to confirm the amount of coloring agents used. ■ I want to promote that the product is additive-free. ■ I want to confirm that the imported products do not use harmful additives. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

The Japan Food Function Analysis Institute conducts tests for the presence of radioactive substances. We analyze the nutritional components used in product labeling. By analyzing the actual products, we can provide appropriate labeling based on real measurements rather than theoretical values, thus offering consumers accurate information. "If you want to test for radioactive substances but don't know how to proceed?" "If you're unsure about how to send samples?" If you have any concerns, please contact us first. We will provide an explanation. 【Radioactive Substance Testing】 ■ Radioactive Iodine (I-131) Set of Radioactive Cesium (Cs-134 and Cs-137) ■ Uranium (water samples only) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

At the Japan Food Function Analysis Institute, we analyze amino acids. Proteins are well-known as one of the three major nutrients alongside carbohydrates and lipids, and amino acids are the building blocks of these proteins. Additionally, amino acids such as glutamic acid are components that contribute to the umami flavor in food. By analyzing and quantifying these amino acids, which are essential for flavor and health maintenance, we enhance the added value of products. Using high-performance liquid chromatography, we will promptly report analysis results in accordance with official methods (Food Sanitation Inspection Guidelines). [We respond to requests such as the following] ■ I want to know the amino acid content in soy sauce and compare it with products from other companies. ■ I want to investigate the amino acid content in mandarins and differentiate it from other regions and varieties. ■ I want to find suitable conditions for meat aging. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

The Japan Food Function Analysis Institute analyzes various vitamins. Vitamins cannot be synthesized at all in the body, or sufficient amounts cannot be synthesized. We analyze and quantify the essential vitamins contained in food for maintaining health. Using high-performance liquid chromatography, we quickly report analysis results in accordance with official methods (Food Sanitation Inspection Guidelines). [We respond to requests such as the following] ■I want to know the amount of vitamin A in carrots. ■I want to know the amount of vitamin B in spinach. ■I want to know the amount of vitamin C in tea. ■I want to know the amount of vitamin D in dried shiitake mushrooms. ■I want to know the amount of vitamin E in salad oil. ■I want to know the amount of vitamin K in milk. ■I want to confirm the amount of vitamins to be highlighted. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The Japan Food Function Analysis Institute analyzes heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, arsenic, and tin that may be present in food. While minerals like potassium and calcium are essential for maintaining health, harmful substances such as lead and cadmium also exist. By examining the content of these substances, we can enhance the added value of food from both functional and safety perspectives. Using ICP emission spectrometry and atomic absorption spectrometry, we can analyze metals with high sensitivity. [We can accommodate requests such as the following] ■ I want to check the mineral content in supplements ■ I want to investigate the cadmium content in rice ■ I want to examine the arsenic content in seafood *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

At the Japan Food Function Analysis Institute, we conduct microbiological tests such as total viable count, E. coli count, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella. To prevent food poisoning and spoilage, regular verification of quality and safety through microbiological testing tailored to the characteristics of the products is necessary. We also examine changes in bacterial counts when food is stored under specific conditions. Data on bacterial count changes due to storage is extremely important for quality control. [We can accommodate requests such as the following] ■ I want to confirm that there are no issues with the handling of raw materials. ■ I want to verify the safety of the products. ■ I want to set expiration dates for fresh food. ■ I want to control the bacterial count of the products. ■ I want to improve the hygiene environment of food factories and kitchens. ■ I want to enhance employees' awareness of hygiene. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

At the Japan Food Function Analysis Institute, we analyze foreign substances mixed in food using FT-IR, microscopes (stereo, optical, polarized), and other methods. "If foreign substances are mixed in the product and I don't know what to do." "I want to confirm what has been mixed in." If you are facing such issues, please give us a call first. The routes of foreign substance contamination and the contaminants themselves vary. After a thorough discussion, we will propose inspection items tailored to your needs. [Inspection Overview] ■ Foreign Substance Inspection - Insect Identification Inspection - Mold Identification Inspection ■ Odor Analysis - Decay odor, mold odor, rancid odor, thinner odor, chemical odor, chlorine odor, solvent odor, oxidation odor, deterioration odor, etc. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

At the Japan Food Function Analysis Institute, we conduct analyses of major nutritional components, including carbohydrates, proteins, and minerals. Nutritional components can be derived from theoretical values through calculations, but the amounts may change during the processing stages. By analyzing actual products, we can provide appropriate labeling based on actual measurements rather than theoretical values, thus offering consumers accurate information. [We can accommodate requests such as the following] ■ I want to evaluate the mineral content of a supplement. ■ I want to display nutritional components on food products. ■ I want to highlight specific nutritional components or caloric content. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

At the Japan Food Function Analysis Institute, we conduct inspections and setting of expiration dates and consumption dates. We set appropriate temperature settings for each food item (such as distribution temperature and store storage temperature) and conduct inspections on a daily basis. A safety factor (less than 1) is required when setting expiration dates, so we need a storage inspection schedule for a period of 1.2 to 1.5 times the duration until the indicated expiration date. 【Inspection Items】 ■ Microbiological Testing - Total bacterial count, coliform bacteria, E. coli, foodborne pathogens, fungal count, Clostridium species, etc. ■ Physicochemical Testing - Acid value, peroxide value, pH, acidity, water activity, sugar content, etc. *Since this varies depending on the type of food, manufacturing process, and storage conditions, we will set it after prior consultation. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
