Spices are considered high-value products and poor-quality spices may cause serious health risks and economic losses. Therefore, fast, precise, accurate, and up-to-date complex analytical methods are a prerequisite for evaluating the quality of spices.

Lifeasible is a comprehensive botanical research company, and our services cover all aspects of botanical research. We are constantly optimizing our testing techniques for spice quality, and to date, we have performed a wide range of spice quality assessments for both tobacco and edible spices.

Our platform

• Identification of spice quality by fingerprinting technology

With the rapid development of food, daily chemicals, tobacco, and other industries, spices, as significant additives, are becoming indispensable raw materials in the national economy. The chemical composition of spices is complex. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve effective quality control of spices through qualitative and quantitative analysis of one or several of their chemical components.

We provide fingerprint analysis technology, which is in spice quality identification. This technology can effectively study the chemical composition of spices as well as reflect the whole picture of spices and detect the entire intrinsic quality of spices. This allows us to achieve a comprehensive evaluation and comprehensive control of the intrinsic quality of spices. At present, fingerprinting technology has become a hot spot in applying flavor and fragrance analysis. We provide this technique with the advantages of high separation efficiency, high peak capacity, and rich sample information compared with traditional methods such as gas chromatography (GC) to detect chemical components of spices.

• Thin layer chromatography analysis for spice quality identification

Using thin-layer chromatography, we can analyze the chemical characteristics of high-specification commercial spices. To date, we have completed the quality identification of various spice commodities using thin layer chromatography analysis techniques. For example, we have optimized the thin-layer chromatographic conditions for the rapid and accurate identification of cinnamon and its products and have successfully distinguished cinnamon from its substitutes and counterfeit products. The use of thin layer chromatography analysis to identify spices quality has the technical characteristics of simple operation, simple equipment required, short time, superior separation effect, and many samples can be separated simultaneously on one plate.
