Agricultural Products Testing
We offer a comprehensive range of analytical tests for fruits, vegetables, grains and other botanicals to address safety issues and to ensure optimal quality and cleanliness of produce.
There are several factors affecting fresh produce quality parameters. The testing parameters will depend on the quality of crops affected by agricultural processes, fertilizers, harvesting methods and handling.
Pesticide residue limits in vegetables, fruits and botanicals are strictly controlled by government regulations in many countries. Hence, the limits for pesticide residues becomes one of the primary concerns of consumers, that has led to increased public awareness throughout the years.
Eurofins Food Testing Singapore offers multi-residue pesticide analysis, this is the most important control parameter for fruits, vegetables and botanicals due to heavy use in cultivation.
Along the entire value chain, we also offer analysis for mycotoxins and plant toxins. Mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxins produced by certain moulds that can grow in food. The moulds are found on a variety of crops including fruit, coffee beans, cereals, nuts and spices. In addition, we also carry out analysis for heavy metals, the contamination of which is usually influenced by environmental conditions existing on site.
