What we test for

Every test, explained.

Twenty-one tests across four categories, run on every single batch before it is packed. Open a category to see what each test checks and why it matters.

Contaminant screening — the tests that decide whether a batch is safe to eat at all.

01

Heavy Metals (Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, Mercury)

Tests for toxic heavy metal contamination to ensure soils and water sources are 100% clean and safe for long-term health.

ICP-MS AnalysisPASSED (<0.18 ppm)
02

Pesticide Residues (180+ Compounds)

Comprehensive multi-residue screen across organophosphates, carbamates, and synthetic agrochemicals to confirm clean farming practices.

LC-MS/MS & GC-MSNOT DETECTED
03

Aflatoxins & Mycotoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2)

Screens for harmful fungal toxins produced during improper harvest storage or mould contamination, ensuring grain drying integrity.

HPLC-FLD / AOACPASSED (<0.8 ppb)
04

Ethylene Oxide (EtO) Screening

Guarantees complete freedom from carcinogenic chemical sterilization gases banned across global quality food standards.

GC-MS/MS100% NEGATIVE (<0.01 mg/kg)

Composition and grade checks that confirm the spice is what it claims to be.

05

Moisture Content

Prevents microbial growth, clumping, and rancidity while locking in natural volatile aroma oils.

AOAC 925.046.5% - 7.8% OPTIMAL
06

Total Ash Content

Measures mineral residue to rule out inorganic chalk, limestone, or earth added to artificially inflate bulk weight.

IS: 1797 / FSSAIPASSED (4.2% - 5.1%)
07

Acid Insoluble Ash (AIA)

Ensures zero sub-surface dust, sand, quartz, or silica particles exist in the milled spice powder.

FSSAI Manual< 0.25% (ULTRA PURE)
08

Extraneous Foreign Matter

Guarantees 100% clean whole seeds without grit, weeds, stalks, or organic debris before cool-milling.

IS: 1797 / ASTA< 0.05% (ZERO GRIT)
09

Non-Volatile Ether Extract (NVEE)

Measures natural fixed oils and resins responsible for deep flavour delivery in authentic home cooking.

Soxhlet Method18.5% - 21.2%
10

Crude Fibre Content

Confirms natural seed structure integrity and rules out dilution with spent husks or excess cellulose.

Digestion MethodPASSED (19.0% - 22.4%)

Adulteration screening for dyes, fillers and substituted material.

11

Volatile Essential Oil (VEO)

Verifies high natural aroma oils remain unextracted and never spent before packaging.

Clevenger Steam3.2% - 4.2% (SUPERIOR)
12

Curcuminoid Content (Turmeric)

Ensures high biological curcumin potency for genuine anti-inflammatory and culinary power.

HPLC Spectrophotometry4.5% - 5.2% (HIGH CURCUMIN)
13

Capsaicin & Scoville (Chilli)

Validates authentic natural warmth from prime stemless chillies with zero artificial capsaicin boosters.

HPLC / ASTA 21.328,000 - 34,000 SHU
14

Synthetic Colour & Sudan Dyes (I-IV)

Protects against carcinogenic industrial red/orange dyes used illegally to brighten inferior spices.

HPLC-DAD / LC-MS100% ABSENT / NEGATIVE
15

Metanil Yellow & Lead Chromate

Strict zero-tolerance testing to verify zero toxic yellow chemical salts or lead adulteration in turmeric.

Chemical Spectrometry100% ABSENT
16

Starch & Foreign Flour Adulteration

Confirms zero wheat flour, spent grain starch, sawdust, or cheap powders used to dilute spice weight.

Microscopic & Iodine100% PURE SPICE

Physical, microbiological and treatment checks carried out on every batch.

17

Bulk Density

Measures powder consistency, packaging volume, and optimal packing texture without settling.

Standard VolumetricUNIFORM BATCH PASS
18

Particle Size Distribution

Ensures uniform slow-grinding fineness so spices disperse evenly in tadkas and gravies.

Sieve Mesh AnalysisOPTIMAL TEXTURE
19

Total Plate Count (TPC)

Overall microbial baseline assessment measuring hygienic processing facility cleanliness.

IS: 5402 / FDA BAM< 1,200 CFU/g (ULTRA CLEAN)
20

Yeast & Mould Count

Tests for fungal spores to guarantee fresh aroma retention and long-term kitchen shelf stability.

IS: 5403< 80 CFU/g
21

Irradiation Test

Confirms clean natural cultivation without reliance on ionizing radiation or artificial treatments.

Thermoluminescence (TL)NON-IRRADIATED (NATURAL)
