A Certificate course on
Hands on training in Hi-tech Analytical Instrumentation

for food quality analysis
Food Safety and Quality Testing Laboratory (NABL Accredited)
IICPT has a long experience in performing food
quality testing, both for research purposes and as part
of its extension services provided to Food processors
in India. The food safety and quality testing laboratory
is equipped with state-of-art instruments to analyze the
physico-chemical characteristics of food materials
including raw materials and finished products. This
laboratory has been certified by the National
Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) as per the Quality system of
ISO/IEC 17025: 2005. A team of experienced scientists are involved in finding solutions to the complex
problems arising in the food industry.
Scope of Training
Continuous analysis of food is requested for the development of more robust, efficient, sensitive, and
cost-effective analytical methodologies to guarantee the safety, quality, and traceability of foods in
compliance with legislation and consumers demands. The old methods used at the beginning of the 20th
century based on the wet chemistry have evolved into the current powerful analytical instrumental
techniques used in food laboratories. This improvement has
led to the significant enhancements in analytical accuracy,
precision, detection limits, and sample throughput, thereby
expanding the practical range of food applications.
Accessing information from literature and not directly
working with the analytical instrumentation for food quality
analysis through text books is common and easy way. Such
knowledge is theoretical and leads to nowhere. Hands-on
training and practical exposure on using analytical
equipment becomes important to improve upon the abilities of an individual on food quality analysis. The
practical exposure also enhances the employability of the individual in industrial and academic
institutional laboratories. Practical exposure and will help to prepare a strong foundation and gain
understanding of the technique and of food quality testing. Presently there is a dearth of technically
qualified skilled professionals and their requirement in industry and academic is growing rapidly.
Training programme would focus:
Five day analytical training course is designed to cater to individuals who aspire to become food quality
analyst. Modern analytical equipments, including Gas
Chromatography with Mass Spectrophotometer (GC-MS),
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), High
Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) and
Inductively
Coupled
Plasma
Optical
Emission
Spectrometry (ICP-OES) are some of the instruments in

which hands on training will be offered. Participants will
learn about the basis of instruments and how to properly
operate the equipment for routine and special analysis. An introduction to basic troubleshooting will also
be presented. The emphasis for this training will be on practical hands-on operation.
Benefits of the training

At the end of the course, a trainee will have acquired the following skill set:
To operate hi-tech equipments with confidence on testing of food samples
Capacity to maintain the equipment in good working conditions
Knowledge to identify and rectify the trouble shooting in the equipment.
Operation of hi-tech analytical equipments for quality testing of food samples
Maintenance of such analytical equipments
The food processing sector is growing at a much faster pace than any other industry in the country.
Numerous food quality testing laboratories are coming up. The new industries, the new and existing food
testing laboratories will require technically trained manpower to handle analytical equipments. Such as
the places where the trainees will find fitting employments. Augmentation of basic knowledge with
industry oriented technical skills and hands on experience can develop potential to achieve unlimited
growth in this field.
