How to Read an Amla Powder COA – A Complete Buyer’s Guide

By Regal Impex – Food-Grade Amla Powder Exporter, India

Understand purity, moisture, and safety scores – and why it matters for your imports.

If you are importing food-grade Amla Powder for nutraceuticals, herbal supplements, or cosmetic formulations, the Certificate of Analysis (COA) is more than just a document – it’s your proof of quality, compliance, and trust.

Yet, many buyers skim through a COA without fully understanding what each section means. This can lead to delays, compliance issues, or, in worst cases, product recalls.

At Regal Impex, every batch of our export-ready Amla Powder comes with a detailed SGS/NABL-certified COA so our clients know exactly what they’re buying. In this guide, we’ll help you read a COA like a pro – and explain how we make sure ours meets the highest international standards.


What is a COA and Why is it Important?

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is an official document issued by the manufacturer or an accredited third-party lab. It verifies that the product meets the agreed specifications for purity, safety, and composition.

For herbal ingredients like Amla Powder, a COA is crucial because:

It ensures compliance with EU, US FDA, Middle East, and Asia-Pacific regulations

It confirms the product’s safety for human consumption

It verifies the nutritional and functional value promised on the label

Without a COA, you’re essentially buying blind.


How to Read an Amla Powder COA

  1. Product Identification

This section confirms that the COA matches your purchase order. Look for:

Botanical Name: Phyllanthus emblica

Form: Fine powder (mesh size mentioned)

Batch/Lot Number: For full traceability

Date of Manufacture & Expiry Date

✅ At Regal Impex: Every batch is uniquely coded and fully traceable from sourcing farms to your port.


  1. Purity & Composition

Amla Powder should be 100% pure, without fillers, maltodextrin, or artificial additives.

✅ At Regal Impex: Our COA shows 100% pure Amla Powder, verified through lab analysis.


  1. Moisture Content

Moisture affects shelf life and microbial growth.

Ideal range: ≤ 8% for long-term stability

Higher moisture can cause clumping, reduced potency, and microbial contamination

✅ At Regal Impex: Our moisture content consistently stays between 5–7%, ensuring a 24-month shelf life.


  1. Microbial Analysis

Essential for meeting international food safety standards.
Key checks include:

Total Plate Count (TPC)

Yeast & Mold Count

E. coli, Salmonella – must be absent

✅ At Regal Impex: Every batch is tested for microbiological safety in accredited labs before shipment.


  1. Heavy Metal Testing

Global regulations limit heavy metal content for food products. This includes:

Lead (Pb)

Cadmium (Cd)

Mercury (Hg)

Arsenic (As)

✅ At Regal Impex: Our heavy metal levels are well within EU and US permissible limits.


  1. Nutritional Values

Amla’s claim to fame is its Vitamin C content – about 20 times that of oranges. Your COA should confirm this along with other nutrient values like polyphenols and antioxidants.

✅ At Regal Impex: We highlight Vitamin C content clearly on the COA for marketability and compliance.
