Laboratory

We process about 5,000 samples annually, involving the performance of about 20,000 individual tests. Our main analyzes carried out in the laboratory are:

• Determination of commercial quality in grains.
• Quality control and nutritional composition.
• Analysis of mycotoxins and other contaminants.
• Organoleptic evaluation.

The methods used are national standards (SAGyP, IRAM) and international standards (ISO, AOCS, AOAC, etc.).

All Laboratory activities are carried out under a Quality Management System based on the ISO/IEC 17025 standard, and the validity of the results obtained is permanently evaluated by participating in aptitude tests organized by FOSFA, Gafta, Bipea , among others.
