Commercial Food Adulterant Detection
ChemSee provides rapid colorimetric screening products for detecting selected adulterants, contaminants, and process-related chemicals in foods, beverages, and other samples.
These products are intended for commercial, institutional, quality-control, inspection, and food-safety applications where rapid screening is needed without relying on complex laboratory instrumentation.
Available Detection Targets
Rapid screening products are available for several food adulterants and chemical contaminants, including:
- Formaldehyde
- Sulfites
- Hydrogen Peroxide
- Nitrates & Nitrites
- Borax
- Chlorine
Additional detection products may be available depending on the analyte and application.
Designed for Rapid Screening
- Simple colorimetric results
- Compact and portable detector formats
- Minimal equipment required
- Suitable for routine screening and quality-control applications
- Products available for different sample types and testing environments
- Visual or semi-quantitative interpretation depending on the detector
Colorimetric Detection Technology
ChemSee detection products use proprietary colorimetric chemistries designed to respond to specific analytes. Depending on the detector, the presence of the target chemical produces a visible color response that can be interpreted directly by the user.
This approach allows testing to be performed rapidly at the point of inspection, production, or sample collection without requiring a dedicated electronic reader or sophisticated laboratory equipment.
Food & Beverage Quality Control
Rapid adulterant screening can be incorporated into quality-control and food-safety procedures for:
- Incoming raw materials
- Production-process monitoring
- Finished-product screening
- Investigation of suspected contamination
- Supplier and ingredient verification
Inspection & Institutional Testing
ChemSee detectors can also support applications involving:
- Government food inspection
- Import and border screening
- Institutional food-safety programs
- Dairy and milk testing
- Commercial laboratory screening
- International distribution and government supply
Formaldehyde & Sulfite Detection
Formaldehyde: ChemSee offers detector formats for screening formaldehyde in food, beverages, liquids, and surfaces. Available formats vary depending on the type of sample and testing application.
Sulfites: ChemSee offers rapid screening products for detecting sulfites in foods and beverages using simple color-based chemistry.
Other Adulterant Screening
Additional screening products are available for:
- Hydrogen peroxide
