Testing Cereals, Pulses & Cereal Products for Quality, Safety & Compliance DALPL supports grain millers, pulse processors and cereal-based food manufacturers with analytical testing for food grains, milled grains, wheat and rice products, pulses, flours, semolina and other cereal-based products. Testing can be tailored to commodity, product form and intended market.

Testing can be planned based on the product type, formulation, raw materials, regulatory requirements and intended market. Our laboratory capabilities support both routine quality control and specific analytical requirements during product development, validation and commercialization.

Testing can be tailored to raw grains, pulses, milled products, flours and cereal-based foods.

Testing can be tailored to the product, formulation and intended analytical requirement.

Food Grains, Wheat, Rice & Pulses

Wheat, rice, other food grains, pulses and related raw grain commodities.

Milled Grains, Atta, Maida & Semolina

Milled grain products, wheat flour (atta), refined wheat flour (maida), semolina (sooji/rava) and other relevant flour products.

Cereal-Based Foods, Flours & Ready-to-Eat Grain Products

Cereal-based foods, flour-based products and ready-to-eat products made from grains and cereals.

Fortified Rice Kernel & Related Fortification Products

Fortified rice kernels (FRK) and related fortification products intended for use in fortified rice applications.

Key Testing Capabilities

DALPL can tailor testing panels to the product type, formulation, raw materials, regulatory requirements and intended market. The parameters below represent key areas of testing support and are not intended as an exhaustive list for every product.

Physical & Grain Quality

A broad grain-quality capability covers physical defects, impurities and commodity characteristics.
Representative parameters
Extraneous matter · Damaged/weevilled/discoloured grains · Inorganic matter · Mould · Ergot · Thousand kernel weight · Chalky rice kernels · Particle size for relevant flours

Shelf Life & Product Stability

Evaluation of cereal and pulse product stability over the intended storage period, considering product, packaging, storage and relevant quality indicators.

Chemical & Compositional Quality

Core chemical parameters are available for cereals, pulses and their products.
Representative parameters
Moisture · Total ash · Gluten · pH of aqueous extract · Acidity of extracted fat / rancidity

Microbiological Safety

A broad microbiological panel is confirmed across relevant cereal, pulse and cereal-product matrices.
Representative parameters
Total Plate Count · Coliforms · E. coli · Salmonella · Shigella · Yeast & Mould Listeria monocytogenes · Vibrio cholerae · Staphylococcus aureus · Bacillus cereus · Clostridium perfringens · Enterobacteriaceae

Mycotoxins

Testing covers key mycotoxins relevant to cereal and grain safety.
Representative parameters
Total Aflatoxins · Aflatoxin B1 · B2 · G1 · G2 · Ochratoxin A · Deoxynivalenol (DON)

Heavy Metals

Testing for a broad heavy-metal panel is identified for cereals, pulses, food grains and wheat atta.
Representative parameters
Antimony · Arsenic · Cadmium · Chromium · Copper · Lead · Mercury · Nickel · Tin

Pesticide Residue Testing

A dedicated cereal-specific multi-residue panel is one of the strongest confirmed capabilities on this page.
Representative parameters
Approximately 219 individually named analytes in the reviewed scope, specifically captioned for cereals and cereal products

Fortified Rice Kernel Testing

A narrow but specific capability is available for fortified rice kernel requirements.
Representative parameters
Iron · Vitamin B12 · Vitamin B9 for relevant FRK premix/fortification applications
