Organoleptic and Non-destructive Inspection Laboratories

Organoleptic and Non-destructive Inspection Laboratories

Organoleptic and non-destructive inspection test laboratories in GOEIC branches: (Al Dekheila, The Airport, Port Said, Damietta, Al Adabiya and Safaga)

Organoleptic and non-destructive inspection test laboratories in each of GOEIC five branches are divided into two groups:

1- Organoleptic laboratories

2- Grain laboratories 

First: Organoleptic laboratories

Organoleptic inspection laboratory is responsible for performing organoleptic tests for food samples such as tests of taste, color, odor, size, moisture and solids, such tests are important as a preliminary indication of the shelf life of food products.
