🌱 Mangroves: Nature’s Silent Climate Heroes 🌊

Did you know that mangrove forests store up to 4x more carbon than tropical rainforests?

This International Day for the Conservation of the Mangrove Ecosystem, AmSpec reaffirms our commitment to safeguarding blue carbon ecosystems — powerful natural allies in the fight against climate change.

Earlier this year, we shared insights into blue carbon — carbon captured by oceanic and coastal ecosystems, such as mangroves, seagrass, and salt marshes. These ecosystems don’t just protect coastlines and support biodiversity — they are essential carbon sinks that help regulate our planet's climate.

🌍 As a TIC company, AmSpec actively supports sustainable supply chains and initiatives that promote environmental stewardship — on land and at sea. Let’s protect the ecosystems that protect us.

📣 AmSpec Group is excited to announce that our laboratory in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, now offers Crude Assay testing!

🔬 We have successfully installed the advanced PETRODIST 100S and PETRODIST 200S petroleum distillation systems at our Rio laboratory. With this cutting-edge technology and our experienced, knowledgeable personnel, AmSpec Brazil is fully equipped to provide crude assay services. Our tests are conducted in accordance with ASTM D2892 and ASTM D5236, as well as recognized industry standards for testing oil fractions.

This important information helps refiners and traders make informed decisions regarding crude oil and crude oil blends, ultimately optimizing both profits and the refining process.

💡 In Brazil, the boiling range fractions generated from crude assay testing are mandatory for oil custody transfers, as outlined in Resolution ANP/Inmetro 1/2013. Furthermore, RANP 874/2022 establishes pricing criteria for oil based on crude assay results.

🧪 June 7 is recognized as World Food Safety Day. 
Each year, unsafe food causes over 600 million cases of foodborne illness globally. That’s almost 1 in 10 people falling ill from what they eat. These risks are not only a public health concern — they’re a barrier to sustainable development, food security, and global trade.

This year’s theme, “Food Safety: Science in Action,” shines a spotlight on the scientific expertise that powers prevention:
🔬 Testing for microbiological, chemical, and physical contaminants
📊 Monitoring supply chains for traceability and transparency
🧪 Validating safety through lab analysis and field inspections
📉 Reducing risk before it reaches consumers or causes market disruption

🗣 What does food safety mean to us?
Hear directly from AmSpec’s Food Safety & Authenticity Services Manager, Dr Imran Khan , as he shares his thoughts on food safety, food security, and the role science plays in global supply chains.

📢 This World Food Safety Day, we call on the industry, regulators, and consumers alike to recognize that safe food doesn’t happen by chance — it happens by design, through science, and with shared responsibility.

Read a blog post on our website to find out more about AmSpec’s contribution to food safety:
