QUALITY IS MORE THAN APPEARANCE

MEHWER® is developing its catnip programme around measurable specifications rather than relying solely on visual grading.

Depending upon customer requirements and agreed specifications, testing may include:

PHYSICAL PARAMETERS

• Appearance
• Colour
• Aroma
• Moisture
• Foreign matter
• Particle size
• Botanical identity

MICROBIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS
Testing can be arranged according to agreed customer and market requirements.

CONTAMINANT SCREENING
Where required:

• Heavy metals
• Pesticide residues
• Microbiological contaminants

ACTIVE AROMATIC PROFILE
For premium and specification-driven orders, analytical testing of volatile components, including nepetalactone, may be arranged through an appropriate laboratory.
