A complete pilot plant involving Ultrafiltration, Nanofiltration, Microfiltration, Chromatographic Separation, Molecular fractionation, Evaporation and Spray drying is being set up to develop new products such as Lactoferrine, Lactose Peroxide, Alfa Lactalbumin, Beta Lactalbumin, Whey Protein Isolates, Casein fraction, Amino Acid fraction, Hydrolyzed protein, Functional Ingredients etc.

 All three plants are equipped with a complete on line quality assurance for ensuring supply of products of a uniform and consistent quality thus rendering the costly time consuming process of quality testing at the buyers plant site and ensuring the customer always good value for money as per his / her perceived expectations. The quality assurance is built around a system of benchmarking all inputs and outputs in addition to the on-line quality assurance and in-depth investigated audit is also routinely made by an independent team of quality auditors in order to ensure the highest productivity while ensuring constantly highest standard as per the established benchmarks.
A Tasters' Panel with a high sense of objective sensory evaluation perform panel testing on a very frequent and regular intervals ensuring consistent organoleptic profile of all products.

A team of technicians develop new applications for existing products and develop new products for existing applications for giving greater value for money and convenience to its buyers as well as to customizing products as per specific customer requirements in addition to the applications laboratory where these technicians work in order to service our customers in a more pro-active manner.
