Testing Scope

About This Test

Ghee is a clarified dairy fat obtained by heating butter or cream to separate the milk solids and water, leaving behind a golden, aromatic fat. As per FSSAI standards, ghee must contain a minimum of 99.7% milk fat and should be free from added coloring, preservatives, or non-dairy fats. Ghee is widely used in Indian cooking, Ayurveda, bakery, and food processing for its rich flavor, high smoke point, and long shelf life. It may be derived from cow, buffalo, or mixed milk sources.

Why It Matters

Purpose of Testing

To verify compliance with FSSAI compositional standards Milk fat content ≥ 99.7%

Moisture ≤ 0.3%

Free fatty acid and BR (Butyro-refractometer) readings within limits

To detect adulteration Check for the presence of vanaspati, starch, soap, detergents, or mineral oils

Detection of non-dairy fats and synthetic substances

To evaluate microbiological safety Ensure the absence of harmful microbes such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria

To test for chemical contaminants Analysis of pesticide residues, aflatoxins, heavy metals (lead, arsenic), and antibiotics

To assess physicochemical parameters Reichert-Meissl (RM) value, Polenske value, saponification value
