Specifying active content in natamycin samples supplied on a carrier

Set up the comparison

Request active natamycin content, carrier composition and assay basis. Express the proposed addition in terms of the measured active component.

Measurements to record

Active matter content (% by mass). Identify the neat substance or carrier-based preparation. Total product weight is not active ingredient weight. Carrier-to-active ratio (% by mass). List carriers and proportions, the basis for active content and the corresponding test report. Record the sample ID and method revision for repeat testing.

Interpreting the results

Review carrier, allergens, intended treatment surface and food category for the destination market before the quality team assesses distribution.
