Grain is one of the most important staple foods worldwide. Its quality and safety are crucial for food production and trade. Systematic analysis provides reliable data on composition, purity and safety – for both producers and processors. AGROLAB analyses grain and grain-based products using validated methods to ensure compliance with legal and customer-specific requirements.
Our Analytical Portfolio
What is analysed?
The composition and quality of grain are influenced by numerous factors. Our analyses cover a wide range of parameters, including:
- Contaminants and residues: mycotoxins, pesticides, heavy metals, dioxins, PCBs, MOSH/MOAH
- Chemical and physical parameters: moisture content, protein content, falling number, sedimentation value, hectolitre weight, alveogram, extensogram
- Microbiological testing: detection of potential pathogens such as Salmonella spp. or E. coli
- Nutritional value and allergen analyses: proteins, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, gluten
- Impurities and fumigants: ethylene oxide, 2-chloroethanol, botanical foreign matter
Our regional contacts will be happy to provide further information.
Analytical Services for Mills and Processors
Analytical Services for Mills and Processors
For mills, bakeries and processors, consistent quality of flours and grain batches is essential. Our tests help to assess milling performance, baking behaviour and product homogeneity. These include:
- Quality parameters: wet gluten, amylogram, sieve analysis, crude protein
- Technological indicators: alveogram, extensogram, farinogram
- Sensory testing: assessment of appearance, odour and textur
These analyses form the basis for quality control, process optimisation and documentation for retailers and authorities. Our regional contacts are happy to assist you with further information.
