Food and agricultural products
Physicochemical, nutritional and microbiological parameters selected according to the submitted food matrix.| Test / parameter | Published method | Technical purpose | Interpretation context | Capability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moisture | Applicable FSSAI / IS method by food matrix | Quantifies water or moisture in the submitted material. | A higher result may indicate ingress, condensation, storage or handling contamination; significance depends on the product and applicable limit. | Inhouse |
| pH | Applicable FSSAI method by food matrix | Measures acidity or alkalinity of the sample under the selected procedure. | A result above or below the required range may affect treatment control, corrosion, scaling, process suitability or product conformity. | Inhouse |
| Acidity | Applicable FSSAI / IS method by food matrix | Measures or evaluates acidity under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
| Total Solids | Applicable FSSAI method by food matrix | Measures or evaluates total solids under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
| Total Ash | Applicable FSSAI / IS method by food matrix | Measures non-combustible residue remaining after controlled combustion. | A higher result indicates more inorganic residue and may affect fuel quality, deposits or specification compliance. | Inhouse |
| Total Fat | Applicable FSSAI / IS method by food matrix | Measures or evaluates total fat under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
| Total Protein | Applicable FSSAI / IS method by food matrix | Measures or evaluates total protein under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
| Carbohydrates | Calculation / applicable source method | Measures or evaluates carbohydrates under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
| Energy | Calculation / applicable source method | Measures or evaluates energy under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
| Total, Natural and Added Sugar | Applicable FSSAI / SOP method by food matrix | Measures or evaluates total, natural and added sugar under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
| Vitamins A, D, E, K and C | Chem-Tech SOP | Measures or evaluates vitamins a, d, e, k and c under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
| Benzoic Acid | Chem-Tech SOP | Measures or evaluates benzoic acid under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
| Sorbic Acid | Chem-Tech SOP | Measures or evaluates sorbic acid under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
| Aspartame | Chem-Tech SOP | Measures or evaluates aspartame under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
| Saccharin | Chem-Tech SOP | Measures or evaluates saccharin under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
| Acesulfame | Chem-Tech SOP | Measures or evaluates acesulfame under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
| Aerobic Plate Count | IS 5402 | Measures or evaluates aerobic plate count under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
| E. coli | IS 5887 Part I | Assesses the selected microbiological indicator or organism group. | Detection or a higher count indicates greater microbiological loading; interpretation must follow the applicable water-use requirement and sampling controls. | Inhouse |
| Coliform | IS 5401 | Assesses the selected microbiological indicator or organism group. | Detection or a higher count indicates greater microbiological loading; interpretation must follow the applicable water-use requirement and sampling controls. | Inhouse |
| Staphylococcus aureus | IS 5887 Part II | Measures or evaluates staphylococcus aureus under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
| Yeast and Mould | IS 5403 | Measures or evaluates yeast and mould under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
| Shigella | IS 5887 Part VII | Measures or evaluates shigella under the published method. | A higher or lower result is interpreted against the applicable specification, sample type and available reference data; direction alone does not establish conformity. | Inhouse |
