Analyses performed on the environment and
the ingredients used in your formulations
There are many types of “classic” food microbiology analyses, such as counts of spoilage microorganisms, hygiene indicators, or pathogen detection.
Boudjebel LAB can provide you with a comprehensive assessment of the physico-chemical and microbiological properties of your products, as well as the environment in which they are produced. This qualitative insight enables your organization to make more informed decisions regarding formulations, ingredients (e.g., potassium sorbate, glucose), or production environments.
These tests are used in a wide range of processes, including quality control, R&D, compliance, food safety, and more. The engineers and scientists at Boudjebel LAB rely on the full capabilities of our analytical facilities to deliver the most effective and reliable results.
Physico-chemical analyses performed on dates
Boudjebel LAB is your partner of choice to ensure the physico-chemical compliance and performance of your products in line with international regulatory requirements.
Today, companies—especially exporters—face increasingly strict and demanding regulations. Physico-chemical analyses are essential for assessing the quality characteristics of your products before they reach the market.
These analyses follow food safety protocols to validate—or challenge—the intrinsic properties of a product. Boudjebel LAB supports industrial and food companies in interpreting and evaluating the physico-chemical characteristics of their products.
Our state-of-the-art analytical facilities allow us to perform a wide range of analyses in a short time, including moisture content, water activity (AW), acidity measurement, pH/alkalinity, Brix degree (soluble solids content), particle size distribution, and viscosity.

The Benchmark Lab for Dates
1- Shelf-Life Testing and Expiry Date Validation
Our laboratory conducts shelf-life tests to examine the growth of microorganisms in the foods you offer for consumption. Even under controlled storage conditions, these products are naturally subject to microbial contamination. Two key factors influence microbial development: temperature and storage duration.
To validate the microbiological shelf life in relation to the flora typically present in a food product—such as hygiene indicator organisms and spoilage microorganisms—these tests are essential and provide valuable insights.
2- New Product Characterization & Specification Sheet Creation
With over 40 years of experience in adding value to Deglet Nour dates, we have developed the expertise to characterize new products arising from your R&D activities and to create their specification sheets.
With full confidentiality and adherence to strict objectivity, our R&D team is at your disposal to prepare your Technical Data Sheets (TDS) in accordance with international standards and requirements.
3- Characterization of Dates from the New Harvest
We offer date packers a service specifically designed for export purposes: the characterization of dates from the new harvest.
In this context, we can provide the requester with relevant data on parameters such as average texture, size, infestation, and more.
