As part of its efforts to meet global food safety norms, Spices Board has set up a Quality Evaluation Lab (QEL) at Navi Mumbai for pesticide residue analysis and microbial food safety in spices and its products. The lab would act as a centre of excellence to decontaminate the pesticide residue in spices.
The QEL, the eighth of such facility established by the agency, is equipped with chromatographic and spectroscopic analytical instrumentations. Besides, it is equipped with latest immuno, molecular, biochemical and spectroscopic instrumental techniques for the detection and enumeration of micro-organisms in food.
The lab will also make a national data base on application of pesticide contamination in spices. It will help in meeting the global standards and export quality spices.
