Quality Control

Ganga products are quality-controlled products.

We are Chemical, instrumental microbiological laboratory which are equipped with latest instruments. On receiving the raw material/ finished products it is sent to the labs for quality control for it’s identity as per specification from pharmacopoeia. In Chemical Laboratory following tests:

PRELIMINARY TESTS: COLOUR, ODOUR, and TASTE.

PHYSICAL PARAMETERS ESPECIALLY FOR PILLS OR TABLETS:

  • Weight of each pill / tablet
  • Hardness
  • Disintegration test
  • Friability
  • PH

CHEMICAL TEST:

  • Loss on drying
  • Ash value
  • Acid insoluble ash value
  • Water soluble extractive
  • Alcohol soluble extractive
  • Acid value
  • Saponification value
  • Lodine value
  • Assay for copper, iron, lead, arsenic, etc.

In microbiological lab we carry out following test,

1) Insects and fungal infection:
On receiving raw material as well as finished products it is checked it’s identity as per specification given from pharmacopoeia.

Macroscopically and microscopically checked for:

  • Insects
  • Pests
  • Fungi
  • Other animal matter
  • Animal Excreta
  • Mould

2) Organoleptic Test:

  • Colour
  • Odour
  • Taste
  • Fungi and Moulds are checked after treatment with 10% KOH

All above tests specification limits are given in individual monograph under the head of foreign matter.

Plant based drugs normally carry a great number of Bacteria and Mould often originating in the soil.

We determine the quality of products by determining E.coli and Mould. Also we are controlling the microbial count by performing the following test.

  • Total Bacteria count
  • Total Fungal count
  • E.coli
  • Salmonelia
  • S. Aureus
  • Pseudomonas

We ensure that the Product is free from Pathogens.
