Alkaloid
Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids (PAs) are toxins that are completely biosynthesized by plants. They are typical secondary metabolites of herbivorous plants. It is estimated that about 6,000 plant species are capable of producing PAs (2% of all flowering plants). Because of its genotoxicity and carcinogenicity, PA is regarded as an undesirable substance in food and feed. We provide alkaloid testing services to help companies fully meet EU regulatory requirements.
Service introduction

In order to help enterprises to control the risk of alkaloids in raw materials and products, Titanium and Food Agriculture have developed and completed alkaloid detection methods for a variety of substrates, and the number of tests is up to 35, which fully meet the requirements of EU regulations.

Sources of alkaloids present in food:

Plant toxins enter the food chain by contaminating edible crops with noxious weeds such as datura;
Transfer to animals through feed and residues in products of animal origin;
It is found mainly in herbs (tea or herbs), cereals (unexpected crops), honey (accumulated in pollen and honey) and other products.


On July 1, 2022, the European Union implemented new Regulation (EU) 2020/2040, amending the maximum limits for Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids in some foods listed in No.1881/2006, and foods marketed before this date may transition to December 31, 2023. The maximum limit refers to the total lower limit of 35 pyrrolizidine alkaloids (including 21 common alkaloids and 14 alkaloids with them).

Service Content
After the development and optimization of the method, We has the ability to detect 35 kinds of pyrrolizidine alkaloids, and the detection limit of each alkaloid is 5μg/kg. It fully meets the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006.
