Comprehensive Overview

Edible oil adulteration poses serious public health risks. Our advanced food lab tests mustard, sesame, groundnut, sunflower, olive pomace, palm, and coconut oils for purity parameters, oxidative stability, trans fats, mineral oil contamination, and toxic adulterants such as Argemone oil, Cottonseed oil, and Castor oil.
