Empowering the Industry: Sharing Expertise in Sugar Analysis
Scientific and Educational Leadership: The fact that they provide training in ICUMSA methods positions them as an authority in the field. This demonstrates that they are not just practitioners but teachers and leaders, setting the standards for others.
At MAARC Labs, we firmly believe that knowledge, even when a valuable business asset, should not remain a secret. Driven by this philosophy, Dr. Keskar and Dr. Nimbalkar are committed to democratizing the specialized knowledge of sugar analysis, traditionally a monopoly, and making it widely accessible to analysts across sugar factories and beverage industries.
To achieve this, MAARC Labs regularly conducts comprehensive training programs. These programs provide chemists with thorough, hands-on instruction in the intricate analysis of sugar, molasses, and water. Each training initiative is meticulously designed and followed by rigorous proficiency programs to ensure participants not only grasp the concepts but also master the practical skills, empowering them to excel in their respective fields.
We provide specialized training in chemical and microbiological analysis of sugar using official ICUMSA methods, tailored for technical staff in sugar factories.
Scope of Training:
- Colour
- Conductivity Ash
- Sulphur Dioxide (SO₂)
- Dextran
- Turbidity
- Lead, Arsenic
- Moisture
- Reducing Sugars
- Mesophilic Bacteria
- Yeast and Moulds
Training focuses on parameters required for issuing Certificates of Analysis (COA) to institutional sugar buyers.
Boiler water analysis is critical for maintaining high-pressure boilers. Accurate analysis requires precise methodology, and our training ensures that participants can perform tests confidently and accurately.
Scope of Training:
- Alkalinity (Caustic & Total)
- Hardness
- Conductivity
- pH
- Dissolved Oxygen
- Silica
- Phosphate
- Iron
- Copper
- Chloride
- Hydrazine
- Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
- Ammonia
One-Day Workshop: Food Safety and Standard Regulations
MAARC Labs conducted a one-day workshop on "Food Safety and Standard Regulations" on 29th June 2018. The program was provided free of cost.
Fifteen participants attended, representing dairy, fruit processing, spices, and snack industries.
Participants shared positive feedback, noting improved understanding of FSSAI guidelines. A guided laboratory tour was organized to help them learn about various analytical instruments used in food testing.
Certificates were awarded to all participants at the end of the workshop.
Seeing the need for such programs, MAARC Labs plans to conduct more workshops for the food industry. To participate, please register with your name and email ID.
