Our Laboratory dedicated to Terra Provence!
Why did we need a laboratory?
Our need for a laboratory on our premises was fundamental.
In order to offer our customers top-quality products, all our products, whether inbound or outbound, are analyzed from every angle. This ensures our customers' peace of mind.
As mentioned above, we needed a laboratory, but not just for analysis. We also have a small team dedicated to Research & Development, actively working in a space open to all exclusive requests.
As part of our commitment to product quality and integrity, Terra Provence has set up a multifunctional laboratory focusing on several key areas.
Analytical control
Preventing adulteration and fraud
We have rigorous protocols in place in our laboratory to ensure the integrity of our products. These include strict procedures for sampling and receiving raw materials, to detect any attempt at adulteration or fraud.
We use advanced analytical techniques such as GC-MS (gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry), GC-FID (gas chromatography with flame ionization detector), and HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography), as well as physico-chemical analyses, to ensure that our products meet the highest standards of purity and authenticity.
Extraction & Process
Process optimization :
We make a point of mastering and optimizing extraction techniques to guarantee processes that are not only efficient, but also perfectly adapted to the specific requirements of each product.
- Our expertise in extraction and analytical control guarantees not only the efficiency of our processes, but also compliance with all applicable regulations. We carry out in-depth analysis of plant raw materials prior to the manufacturing process to ensure quality and compliance.
- Thanks to our expertise, we can create new, innovative flavour ingredients for research and development (R&D). Using advanced techniques, we isolate and characterize valuable compounds from plant raw materials, paving the way for the formulation of unique aromatic solutions tailored to market needs.
Research & Development (R&D)
Dedicated to innovation, this division explores new avenues to develop innovative products, particularly in the area of flavors, and respond to emerging market needs. Thanks to in-depth research and an approach focused on current trends, we are able to design unique flavors that enrich our customers' sensory palette.
Transposing R&D to the shop floor
Thanks to our Research and Development (R&D) department and our pilot extraction room, we can efficiently transfer innovations from the laboratory to the production line. This enables us to transform innovative concepts into finished products, while maintaining consistent quality.
These initiatives reinforce our ability to offer reliable, innovative products while protecting our customers against the risks associated with fraud and adulteration, and to support them in their new developments.
