Impurity Standards in Microbial Chemistry: Ensuring Chemical Integrity in Microbial Products and Processes
Author(s): Helena J. SørensenImpurity standards are well-characterized chemical substances used to identify, quantify, and control unintended compounds present in chemical products. In microbial chemistry, impurity standards are essential for understanding by-products formed during microbial metabolism, biotransformation, and industrial fermentation. These standards enable accurate assessment of chemical purity, safety, and process consistency. This article discusses the role of impurity standards in microbial chemistry, emphasizing their importance in analytical validation, process optimization, and regulatory compliance for microbially derived compounds.
