Food & Agriculture Product Testing
Cereals, Pulses & Cereal Products Testing
Doctors’ Analytical Laboratories perform precision testing for a wide range of parameters for Cereals, Pulses & its products using Hyphenated instruments through a team of highly trained scientists.
Test Parameters
- Physical & General Analysis (extraneous matter, damaged grains, weevilled grains, inorganic matter, mould, discolored seeds, etc.)
- Chemical Analysis (moisture, total ash, gluten, rancidity, pH, density, acid content, etc.)
- Nutritional Analysis & Labelling (energy, protein, carbohydrates, total sugar, etc.)
- Fatty acid profile (SFA, MUFA and PUFA) & Trans fatty acids
- Naturally Occurring Toxic Substances (Agaric acid, Hydrocyanic acid, Hypercine and Safrole)
- Vitamins (A, D, E, B12, C)
- Amino Acid profile
- Minerals (calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, etc.)
- Mycotoxins (total aflatoxin, aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin B2, ochratoxin A, etc.)
- Heavy metal residues (lead, tin, arsenic, copper, cadmium, etc.)
- Melamine
- Additives (added flavoring & coloring matter, phosphates, beta carotene, phytosterols etc.)
- Pesticide Residues
- Sensory Evaluation
- Shelf Life Testing
- Microbiological parameters (total plate count, total coliform count, yeast and mould count, salmonella and shigella, E. coli, etc.)
