Behrang Quality Control Laboratory

Every batch of saffron we export is tested and verified in our own state-of-the-art laboratory before shipment to ensure premium global standards.

History & Capability

Established in 2005 alongside our processing center in Mashhad, the Behrang Quality Control Laboratory represents the pinnacle of saffron testing infrastructure in the Khorasan region. By employing cutting-edge spectrophotometers, chromatographic analysis systems, and maintaining an completely clean-room environment, we ensure that B2B importers bypass secondary testing delays.

Our specialists strictly enforce the rigorous international ISO 3632-1:2011 standard, analyzing the chemical properties, moisture thresholds, and microbiological metrics of every batch. Full traceability is logged automatically, and digital verification is provided for our worldwide wholesale shipments.

Quality Tests We Perform

A rigorous range of chemical and physical tests conducted on every batch to verify authenticity, purity, and sensory potency before export.

Picrocrocin Analysis (Flavor)

Measures the distinct bitter glucosides that give premium saffron its unique earthy taste profile.

Crocin Content (Color)

Evaluates the concentration of crocin using UV-vis spectrophotometry to verify Category I color strength according to ISO 3632 specifications.

Safranal Testing (Aroma)

Measures the organic compound safranal, responsible for the deep herbal aroma key to high-grade saffron.

Moisture & Volatile Matter

Carefully monitors weight loss on drying to prevent mold while maintaining organic shelf-life stability.

Microbiological Screening

Screening for yeasts, molds, and coliforms to meet stringent food-safety import requirements in the EU and Asia.

Foreign Matter Detection

Detailed microscopic scan to ensure absolute purity and separation from styles, stamens, or external materials.

Certificates We Hold & Provide

ISO/IEC 17025 Certified Testing

HACCP Safety Standards Compliance

Certificate of Analysis (CoA)

Phytosanitary & Health Certificate

Why In-House Testing Matters

Many saffron exporters rely only on third-party labs or skip testing altogether for smaller orders. We test every single batch in-house before it ships, so quality issues are caught before they reach you — not after.
