Megazyme’s mission is to provide high quality test kits and reagents employing only the highest purity enzymes. We offer Analytical Laboratory Services assisting labs in testing samples in terms of Nutritional value of foods and feeds, quality, authenticity, or in terms of their Research and Development capabilities. Our reputation depends on helping you solve your problems. If we cannot provide a method to analyse your samples, we will help you find someone who can. We also have the flexibility to develop new methods or tailor-make products for specific processes.

Recently Megazyme has expanded it’s range of test kits to include procedures for a range of organic acids (L-malic, D-malic, L-lactic, D-lactic, acetic, hydroxybutyric, isocitric, gluconic, glutamic etc.), alcohols (ethanol, D-sorbitol, D-mannitol, glycerol etc.) sweeteners (aspartame) and sugars (D-galactose, D-xylose, D-fructose, lactose, sucrose, raffinose, glucomannan etc.) and other components (urea, ammonia and acetaldehyde).

Many of the Megazyme test methods have been validated as standard official methods by scientific organisations, such as, the AACC, AOAC, ICC, RACI and EBC. Eight of these methods are now accepted as Australian standard procedures, with the Starch Damage, Beta-Glucan, Total Starch, Fructan, Ceralpha, Amylazyme and Resistant Starch Methods now endorsed as standard methods by the American Association of Cereal Chemists (AACC), and by the International Association for Cereal Science and Technology (ICC). Five of these methods are AOAC Official Methods.

The enzymes in the Megazyme Total Dietary Fibre Kit have been recommended for use in the AOAC Dietary Fibre Methods: 991.43 and 985.29. See General Referee Reports: Journal of AOAC Vol. 81, No. 1, 1998.

The Megazyme creed is “Setting New Standards in Test Technology“. Our aim is to be your provider of test kits and reagents of choice, on a long term basis.
