Determination of Hormone and Antibiotic

Animal origin foods such as meat and meat products, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, and essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals play an important role in human nutrition. Since foods of animal origin are a source of protein, they should be consumed regularly for everyone, especially children in the developing age. The biological value of the proteins they contain is higher than the plant foods.
Foods of animal origin can contain rich nutrients, as well as animal diseases or drug residues. Foods that are likely to contain disease or drug residues should be analyzed regularly and precautions should be taken before they reach the consumer.
The most common drug residue in food of animal origin is antibiotics, which are often taken by adding them to their feed and water. Antibiotics used to prevent and control diseases are passed on to humans with foods to be consumed because they are not fully metabolized and excreted in the organism and negatively affect human health for a long time.
Antibiotics; May create resistance against pathogenic microorganisms. It can cause antibiotic allergy in humans and antibiotic residues in milk can prevent the development of culture during the production of dairy products and cause economic losses.
Hormone residues that can be found in food of animal origin are another important issue. Natural and synthetic hormones are widely used to increase animal growth and feed utilization rate. However, due to its toxic effects on human health, its use in foods is prohibited with the directive 96/22 / EC published by the European Union.
Hormone and hormone-like products are used to increase protein synthesis, especially in animals for slaughter. Hormone residues can cause hormonal disorders, carcinogenic effects, neural complications and arteriosclerosis in humans.
The amount of antibiotics and hormones in food of animal origin has been limited within the scope of the "Communiqué on the Amendment of the Turkish Food Codex Communiqué on Maximum Residue Limits for Veterinary Drugs in Animal Originated Foods" and "Communiqué on Hormone and Similar Substances That Are Banned from Application to Animals with Food Value and Subject to Certain Conditions".

Our laboratories serving in many provinces in turkey, "Determination of Hormone and Antibiotic " in accordance with legal regulations and standards relating to Türkak accreditation is carried out.
