Oat flour, highly refined from flour made from hulled oats, is available in many supermarkets. Most oat varieties have a larger fiber content than white flour, and despite its wide application in enhancing the flavor of sauces, oat flour lacks gluten, which is used to help the yeast rise the flour. Small amounts of oat flour can be used in baked goods, but bread, pizza dough, or cakes made entirely from oats have extremely poor flavor.

Tested range of oats: oats, oatmeal, oatmeal rice, oatmeal porridge, wild oats, oat flour, oat flour, oat flour, oat cake, raw oats, instant oats, oat cookies, raw oats, breakfast oats, oat kernel, cooked oats, black oat rice, pure oats, branded oats, bagged oats, bulk oats, oat milk tea, oat juice, oat drink and so on.

Oats Testing Items: Acid Price Test, Quality Test, Peptide Test, Pesticide Residue Test, Moisture Test, Bulk Weight Test, Imperfect Grain Test, Heavy Metal Test, etc.

Attachment: Evaluation of oat products in the project analysis

1. 5 heavy metals: lead, total arsenic, cadmium, chromium

The land and water source of oat planting are polluted, and the pesticides and fertilizers used in the planting process, or the additives used, may contain excessive toxic and harmful heavy metals, which may be absorbed and accumulated through the crops or processed, and remain in the finished products.

(1) Lead intake will lead to slow growth, slow reaction, permanent irreversible damage to the brain, lead will cause damage to the nervous system, blood system, cardiovascular, skeletal system, damage to the liver and kidney function.

(2) Excessive intake of arsenic can cause lesions in the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys, cardiovascular system, nervous system, respiratory system, blood system, and reproductive system, and may also lead to cancer; and

(3) Cadmium excessive intake mainly caused by kidney damage, very serious advanced patients can appear bone lesions; (4) Chromium (Cd) is the most common cause of cancer.

(4) chromium (mainly hexavalent chromium) is more toxic, excessive intake will cause chronic poisoning, resulting in kidney and liver damage, nausea gastrointestinal irritation, gastric ulcers, cramps and even death.

2. 4 mycotoxins: aflatoxin B1, ochratoxin A

Oats harvested and processed after the circulation process of storage may be due to poor storage conditions, temperature and humidity control and other reasons, the insulation of the packaging is not good, resulting in mold , thus producing mycotoxins.

Fungi and their toxins are closely related to the occurrence of human cancer. Among them, aflatoxin B1 is one of the most carcinogenic of the known chemicals, which can cause cancer, and may also cause acute poisoning, leading to death in severe cases.

3. 4 food additives: dehydroacetic acid, benzoic acid, sorbic acid, acesulfame, sweetener, saccharin sodium

Production to improve taste, preservation needs, may add sweeteners, preservatives.

4. 19 pesticide residues

Mainly raw materials in the planting process of pesticide abuse, may lead to excessive pesticide residues in the finished product. Long-term intake of food with high pesticide residues will lead to chronic poisoning of the human body, may induce mutations in genes, carcinogenicity, deformity of the proportion and possibility of abnormal increase in the body's enzymes and the reproductive system, especially the male reproductive system constitutes a serious impact.

5. Benzo(a)pyrene

It is illegally added to improve the properties of products or for the purpose of preservation. It is a strong carcinogen.

6. Microorganisms: yeast, colony count, coliforms, staphylococcus aureus, salmonella

Raw materials may be contaminated with microorganisms during the production process, and microorganisms may also proliferate during distribution due to improper temperature control.
