When curcumin is a purchasing parameter, state your requested limit and ask for the test method and report reference. The Spices Board lists curcumin among its laboratory evaluation parameters. A colour photograph is not a laboratory result.
Read the report context
Check the sample identity, report date, test method, units and laboratory details. Ask how the sample was drawn and whether its identity corresponds to the lot being offered. Request clarification where the report describes a different form, blend or consignment.
Review the wider quality brief
Discuss moisture, foreign matter, processing, particle size for powder and the testing relevant to the intended market. Agree who will arrange and pay for sampling or independent inspection. Sahydex coordinates these discussions; laboratory work must be conducted by the relevant qualified party.
