Universe Testing Laboratory is a trusted Marine Products Testing Lab in Nilgiris, offering advanced analytical testing for fish, prawns, shrimp, crab, squid, octopus, shellfish, dried seafood, frozen marine products, and ready-to-cook seafood items. Marine foods are highly prone to microbial spoilage, adulteration, and chemical contamination, making scientific testing essential for safety and export compliance.
The lab performs detailed nutritional profiling and label validation, including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, dietary fiber, and energy values. Microbiological screening for pathogens such as Vibrio, Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and spoilage organisms is conducted.
Chemical assessments include fatty acid profiling, cholesterol, amino acid profiling, and comprehensive physical chemical analysis for moisture, pH, water activity, and salt content. Safety screening covers pesticide residues, heavy metals, mycotoxins, PAHs, PCBs, and synthetic colours & illegal dyes. Results delivered within 3 to 5 days.
