Cereals, Pulses and Their Products Testing

cereals and pulses testing

Cereals, Pulses, and their products are consumed in large quantities worldwide. Their increased production, processing, and trading practices have raised the demand for quality assurance & standardization. The overwhelming use of pesticides to increase the yield and treatment with insecticides during storage make these grains unsuitable for human consumption. Before reaching the consumers, cereals, pulses, and other grains need to be analyzed to ensure their compliance with maximum residue levels.
