Oils and Fats

Sectors

Understanding the quality and composition of oils and fats is essential for food safety and product performance. QTI Services offers precise testing of key parameters such as fatty acid profile, free fatty acids, tocoferol, cholesterol, lecithin, peroxide value and moisture. We also analyse residues and contaminants including pesticides, mycotoxins, heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Risk management includes the detection of dioxins, GMOs and fat-soluble substances that may migrate from packaging, such as mineral oils.

All analyses are performed under one roof, enabling efficient turnaround times and full regulatory compliance. QTI Services supports HACCP-based control systems and food safety standards such as IFS and BRC.

We are qualified to analyse oilseeds and related products and committed to supporting the quality and safety of oils and fats across the entire supply chain.
