100th Year Food Analysis Laboratory has started olive and honey analyses

The 100th Year Food Analysis Laboratory, established in cooperation with Muğla Metropolitan Municipality and Muğla Commodity Exchange, has started its services.

The 100th Year Food Analysis Laboratory will conduct analyses primarily on Muğla’s two most famous products, honey and olive oil, to promote Muğla’s products and determine their quality. These analyses will be conducted according to international council methods and the quality and purity parameters of the Turkish Food Codex.

The analyzed products provide confidence to consumers.

The laboratory, which was established by the Metropolitan Municipality and the Commodity Exchange, will determine the quality criteria for all finished, semi-finished, and raw food products. Conducting R&D studies for innovative product development is of great importance in increasing the market opportunities of products whose quality has been determined. The products that are certified for quality in the laboratory will benefit both producers and consumers who will purchase products with confidence. The analyses conducted at the 100th Year Laboratory will provide producers with more affordable analysis opportunities compared to the price lists of other laboratories.
