Laboratory analyses:

Analyses upon receipt:

Received plants along with the analysis certificates issued by the supplier are rigorously and methodically inspected by the Laboratory to release the batch for production and guarantee the quality of the processed product in full.

Various analyses are carried out systematically:
• Macroscopic characteristics
• Microscopic characteristics
• Physical and chemical properties (volumetric mass, water content, total ashes, ashes insoluble in hydrochloric acid).

---

Analyses carried out according to an inspection plan:

• Micro-biological properties (Salmonella, Escherichia coli, total aerobic mesophilic flora, yeast, rot).

Some analyses require considerable resources, for example, analyses to identify pesticides. Such analyses are therefore outsourced.

Cycle end analyses:

Laboratoire Velay conducts qualitative controls not only of raw materials but also of finished manufactured products.
