Universe Testing Laboratory operates as a trusted honey testing facility in Nilgiris, providing analytical services to verify purity, safety, composition, and authenticity of honey and honey-based products. The lab addresses frequent adulteration issues involving sugar syrups, artificial sweeteners, colours, and chemical additives through scientific testing to ensure product integrity and FSSAI compliance.
The laboratory delivers complete nutritional analysis including carbohydrates, reducing sugars, total sugars, and fructose-glucose ratios, along with label validation. Microbiological testing evaluates yeast, mold, and bacterial contamination affecting quality and shelf-life. Physical-chemical analysis measures moisture, pH, ash content, acidity, and HMF levels as freshness indicators.
