 Using
accepted analytical methods, superior
instrumentation and Centek supplied user
friendly sampling equipment, we can
analyze for suspected compounds causing
contamination (total VOC’s, sulfur
species). This represents a cost
efficient, increased sensitivity
approach to fulfilling your analytical
needs.
Contact us to set up a meeting/
presentation via web conference, over
the phone, or face to face. Our
experienced laboratory director, Russ
Pellegrino, will assist in developing a
sampling program.

Diacetyl
Analysis
Monitor Employees Exposure
 Centek Labs has been doing product
testing on many cooking supplies such as
butter flavored oils, spreads and low
calorie sprays. When the products are
heated or just left in open atmosphere
many VOC’s are released one of them
being diacetyl. Recently some findings
have seen diacetyl present in process
foods and butter flavored side dishes.
Know what your employee’s levels of
diacetyl exposure are by using our quick
and easy sampling kits.
 Packaging
& Materials Analysis
Volatiles in Food Package
Packaging materials and adhesives can
outgas volatile compounds into foods and
beverages. Even low levels of these
compounds can change the flavor of the
product or even create a health risk.
Food & Ingredients Analysis
 Analysis
of Chemical Markers in Foods and
Ingredients
The composition of volatiles in the
headspace of foods and ingredients has
shown to change as spoilage occurs.
Microbial growth in food products
produces unique compounds in the
headspace that can be compared to normal
headspace components to estimate the
extent of spoilage.
Flavor & Fragrance Analysis
 Volatiles
in Flavors and Fragrances
Many variables need to be taken into
account such as analytical methods,
absorbents and thermal breakdown on
protein or sugar containing samples.
Large Volume Static Headspace (LVSH)
addresses these limitations. Sample
preparation is not required other than
placing the product in the LVSH chamber.
Aluminum Can Analysis
 Volatile
Compounds from Can Coatings
Polymer coated aluminum and steel cans
are used throughout the world for
packaging foods and beverages. It is
known that the different coatings and
curing process used can impact the food
products in contact with these coatings.
