Laboratory

The factory has established own laboratory. It is equipped with the most contemporary apparatuses for current physical and chemical control of the ready production as the work is performed with latest generation refract meter Maselli Misure, stationary colorimeter HunterLab mun ColorFlex Tomato Color Meter and an apparatus for measuring the acidity WTW inoLab PH 720.

This allows hourly evaluation of the quality of the paste produced by concentration, viscosity, color and acidity. The laboratory is one of the few in the country to measure indicators for Lycopene, the most active antioxidant in tomato products.

The safety of products is periodically monitored by external accredited laboratories, starting from the primary raw material for the presence of pesticide residues and heavy metals, and ending with complete microbiological analysis of the finished product.

The gradual equipping of a microbiological laboratory to monitor the hygienic condition of the raw material, the equipment and the finished product is forthcoming. All of this leads to higher requirements for the staff employed in the laboratory, with three engineers-technologists working with excellent theoretical and practical training.
