1. Appearance & Color Spices should exhibit a uniform and characteristic color typical of their type. Any discoloration, dullness, or unnatural variations may indicate aging, poor processing, or contamination. 2. Size & Shape Whole spices should have a consistent size and shape, free from irregularities or excessive breakage. Ground or powdered spices should have a fine, uniform texture with minimal clumping. 3. Moisture Content The moisture level must be within the prescribed limits to prevent microbial growth, spoilage, and loss of aroma. Excessive moisture can lead to mold development and degradation of essential oils. 4. Purity & Foreign Matter Spices should be free from extraneous matter such as dust, dirt, stones, and other organic or inorganic impurities. No adulterants, artificial coloring agents, or added fillers should be present. 5. Aroma & Flavor Spices should retain their natural, characteristic aroma, which indicates freshness and high essential oil content. Any off-smells, mustiness, or rancidity suggests spoilage or improper storage. 6. Texture & Density Whole spices should be firm, intact, and free from excessive brittleness or shriveling. Ground spices should have a smooth, fine consistency with no hard particles or excessive fibrous content. 7. Insect & Pest-Free Spices must be free from live or dead insects, larvae, and pest infestations. Proper handling and storage conditions should prevent any contamination by rodents or insects. 8. Ash & Volatile Oil Content The ash content must remain within regulatory standards to ensure purity. The volatile oil percentage, which determines the spiceâ??s potency and aroma, should meet the expected threshold for each type of spice. 9. Packaging & Storage Stability Spices should be packaged in moisture-proof, airtight containers to preserve freshness and prevent contamination. Proper storage conditions include a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors.
