Our In-House Labs
State-of-the-art laboratories with modern testing equipment ensure the quality and safety of all products. With multiple manufacturing facilities, chemical and pathological evaluation is carried out to ascertain the quality of the products before being dispatched to customers. They all form part of our Centralised Quality Control Laboratory with modern imported instruments such as LCMSMS, GC MS MS, spectrophotometers and important microbiology apparatus.
Quality Control
An experienced team of scientists, technicians and qualified personnel operate round-the-clock to keep the quality of our products in check. By performing meticulous product analysis and strict evaluation, they ensure character and constitution in the output. This is supplemented by latest developments in technology and machinery, all made readily available to our team of experts.
Sensory Evaluation Laboratory
Sensory evaluation is a scientific discipline used to measure, analyse and interpret reactions to characteristics of food material as are perceived by senses of sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing (sound).
Based on the type of information they provide, sensory tests are divided into three groups – discrimination, descriptive and affective.
Chemical Laboratory
Our chemical laboratories can be utilised for sample preparation of spices and following sample protocol as per FIFO regulations. The laboratories are commonly used by spice cultivators and exporters, organic spice dealers, spice products and masala manufacturers and spice extract manufacturers. The labs also facilitate the following.
Pesticide analysis for items bound for national and international usage
Active ingredient analysis like curcumin, piperine and capsaicin
Residual solvent analysis for
extracts
Nutritional profiling
Instrumentation Laboratory
This laboratory comprises highly sophisticated Instruments used for
Data Analysis
Lab Network System
Customer Data
Microbiology Laboratory
The Biology division at Perfetto Naturals focuses on
Surface sampling for packing materials and utensils
Testing for Legionalla in water
Analysis of a variety of food samples for total plate count, Yeast and Mould Count, Coliform, Faecal Coliform, Enterobacteriaceae, E coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, Salmonella Spp, Pathogenic Vibrio Spp (V. cholera, V. Parahaemolyticus & V Vulnificus), Listeria Monocytogenes, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Shigella Spp, B Cereus, Streptococcus Faecalis, Clostridium Perfringens, Sulphite reducing Anaerobes and Aerobic and Anaerobic spore formers.
Detection of Salmonella using conventional culture methods takes a minimum of 5 days. In our microbiology labs, Salmonella testing using VIDAS is based on the highly efficient ELIFA (Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay) technique. It is an automated system which delivers reliable results within 2 days.
Testing of water for compliance to national and international standards. (Both drinking water and process water are tested according to their specifications such as IS 14543, IS 13428, IS 10500, IS 4251 and 98/83/EC). The test methods used are either internationally or nationally accepted testing methods such as those published by ISO, USFDA-BAM, APHA, MFLP, AOAC, AFNOR or IS.
Residue analysis of illegal dyes like malachite green and its metabolite leucomalachite green, crystal violet and its metabolite leucocrystal violet, Sudan I, II, III & IV in spices and Para Red, Rhodamine, Sudan Red 7 B in spices.
Pesticide Analysis – More than one hundred pesticides of organochlorine, organophosphorus, pyrethroid, carbamate and other classes are analysed in a variety of food products including coffee, spices, fruits and vegetables.
Analysis of mycotoxins, aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2 in spices and heavy metals in all kinds of foods, herbals and water.
Providing nutritional facts for processed food and ready to eat food.
Modern Coffee testing and Cupping Laboratory
For developing new blends of coffee, the laboratory is equipped with cupping scales, sample roasters, coffee moisture and density metres, coffee grinders, roast analysers, colour analysers, sieve shakers and blending machines.
