Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Testing

Fruits and vegetables are natural source of vitamins and minerals which are vital for human's health. Ensuring the safety and quality of fruits and vegetables throughout the chain from production to harvesting until it reaches consumers is important. Hence, there is a growing concern related to food borne illnesses caused by microorganisms and pesticide residues.
