Testing & Methods

We apply recognized methods and calibrated instrumentation to generate traceable, reproducible results suitable for contracts and regulators.

• Moisture, ash, protein, fiber, fat, and starch/carbohydrate profiles
• Grading/quality parameters (e.g., defects, broken/damaged, foreign material, test weight)
• Contaminants and residues: mycotoxins (e.g., aflatoxin), pesticides, heavy metals, dioxins/PCBs
• Adulteration/authenticity checks (e.g., fatty-acid profile, isotopic/marker analysis where applicable)
• Oil and fat quality indices: FFA, PV, AV, IV, color, stability (e.g., Rancimat)
• Sampling plans per contract rules with strict chain-of-custody documentation

Inspection & Certification

Independent inspectors safeguard value across complex routes. We verify quality, quantity, and condition at custody transfer and issue documentation that counterparties accept.

• Pre-shipment and destination inspections; warehouse and stock checks
• Loading/discharge supervision; draft and ullage; seals and sampling
• Certificates of quality, quantity/weight, and condition for letters of credit and trade files
