Analysis to quantify levels of nitrosamine N-nitrosodimethylamine in beer, a key marker for monitoring process-derived contaminants and ensuring product safety.
NDMA analysis typically involves gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to detect trace levels in finished beer, malt, and brewing water. Monitoring NDMA levels helps breweries comply with safety regulations and minimise contamination risks by optimising malting and brewing conditions to prevent its formation.
