processimpurity
Process impurities are unwanted substances that can be present in a manufactured product as a result of the manufacturing process itself. These impurities are distinct from starting material impurities, which are contaminants present in the raw materials used, and degradation products, which form over time after the product has been manufactured. Process impurities can arise from a variety of sources, including side reactions, incomplete reactions, residual reagents or catalysts, solvents, and contaminants introduced from equipment or the manufacturing environment.
Identifying and controlling process impurities is crucial, particularly in industries like pharmaceuticals and food manufacturing, where
