Spices are the most important additions to food across the world. Since ancient times, spices have been the most demanded product all over the world. They not only fulfil the function of adding colour and flavour to the food but also meet the purposes of preservation, medicinal benefits, nutrition etc. Spices are listed as commodities and traded in various exchange markets.

In order to ensure that the spice quality is maintained as per standards and that they are safe from contaminants like pesticides, metals and other adulterations, spice testing is done to maintain the quality and its taste.
