As biotechnology leaders, the sustained consumer awareness and compliance regulations in the food market have intensified the challenges encountered in providing safe, authentic, and environmentally responsible products. To tackle these issues, our firm has developed a comprehensive suite of finished product testing services that provides a solution to food safety and sustainability. These services include extensive microbiological, physicochemical, sensory, and authenticity testing while minimizing ecological damage and maintaining global compliance standards.
The international food supply chain is progressively susceptible to contamination, malicious tampering, and dishonest branding which endanger the health of consumers alongside the trust they possess in brands. Our testing services permit food manufacturers to maintain quality, transparency, and environmental accountability by leveraging advanced technology integrated with eco-friendly practices. This document is intended to describe a finished product testing approach that is comprehensive in scope detailing its environmental impacts, technical, and international sustainable development goals (SDGs) compliance.

Technical Principles
The methodologies are based on internationally accepted scientific principles. We incorporate all guidelines from the international organizations. The overall structure of the project includes.
- PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), ATP bioluminescence and culture based assays for Microbial Testing ( Salmonella, Listeria, E. Coli), and other spoilage organisms as well as total viable counts.
- HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography), GC do MS (Gaz Chromatography Mass Spectrometer) and ICP do OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy) for Physical and Chemical Testing on contaminants (pesticides, heavy metals), preservatives, and nutritional content.
- Sensory Testing that evaluates flavor, texture, aroma and appearance with a panel of trained evaluators along with electronic nose and tongue systems.
- GMO and Allergen Testing with species specific DNA or protein detection using qPCR (quantitative PCR) and ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay).
Technical Features
The services have the following characteristics:
Application Areas
- High Level Sensitivity: Identifying pathogens whose detection levels range from 1 CFU/g and allergens for 0.1 ppm.
- Rapid Response: Same day tests for predefined measures such as the screening of Salmonella.
- Multi-Parameter Testing: In one session, more than 15 allergens or 200 pesticide residues can be tested.
- Infrared Non-Destructive Method: Evaluating the integrity of packages without damaging it using infrared spectroscopy.
- Blockchain: Enables traceability and transparency of test results on the African supply chain.
Application Areas
- Dairy and Meat Products: Pathogen monitoring, shelf-life analysis.
- Beverages: Alcohol content verification, additive profiling.
- Plant-Based Foods: Allergen cross-contact risk assessment.
- Infant Formula: Nutrient compliance, heavy metal screening.
- Organic Products: Pesticide residue validation.
Environmental Benefits
- Waste Reduction: Early detection of non-compliant products minimizes recalls and landfill waste.
- Energy Efficiency: Use of automated systems lowers energy consumption by 30% vs. conventional labs.
- Sustainable Packaging: Biodegradability testing for films and containers.
- Biodiversity Protection: Authenticity testing combats illegal fishing and deforestation-linked ingredients.
