Get maximum value for your milk with ALS Food & Environmental NZ testing

Dairy Testing

ALS Food and Environmental NZ (formerly Analytica) offers specialised testing of milk and dairy products for functional components, micro-organisms and pathogens, residues, and contaminants. Our senior technical staff regularly support R&D projects in milk and dairy products, allowing us to provide solutions that are not available from other providers.

ALS Food and Environmental NZ is a world-leading provider of beta-casein testing in milk and dairy products, for those interested in producing A1 beta-casein free dairy products.

We offer a broad range of compositional, functional, and microbiological tests that allow dairy manufacturers to export their dairy products with confidence.

We offer a range of other specialized protein tests, focused on functional and high value proteins. Our R&D capability enables us to develop novel tests, and then scale these to allow for fast and cost-effective testing if required by customers.

Much of our dairy testing is carried out in partnership with MilktestNZ – the leading provider of liquid milk component and quality testing to the NZ dairy industry.  Together we provide testing solutions to farmers and dairy companies that support the production of high quality and safe milk.

We have a shareholding CAIQTEST (Pacific) who uses GB methods for pre-shipment certification of dairy products being exported to China, from its Hamilton (NZ) location.  With Chinese government (CNAS) accreditation for a broad range of dairy tests, this lab is uniquely positioned to assist Australasian companies exporting to China.

Contaminants

Our contaminant testing involves the use of advanced and modern testing equipment to develop methods and carry out testing for current and emerging contaminants of interest to global regulators and customers of Australasian dairy products.

A1 and A2 Beta-Casein

Beta-casein makes up about 30% of the protein in cows (bovine) milk. In recent years, there has been growing interest in testing for A1 and A2 type beta-casein in milk and dairy products, and ALS Food & Environmental NZ has testing methods that have been refined over a number of years.

A1 and A2 Beta-Casein | Sheep & Goats

It is common for farmers or manufacturers who are using milk from sheep or goats to ask for beta-casein testing. ALS Food & Environmental NZ’s testing methods are specific to bovine (cattle) beta-casein, and are not designed to detect caprine (goat) or ovine (sheep) beta-casein.
