Water quality plays a vital role in the production of high-quality Amla products destined for international markets, especially the European Union and United States. Both regions enforce strict standards for the purity of water used during food processing to safeguard consumer health and maintain product quality.
The European Union’s Drinking Water Directive (EU 2020/2184) mandates that water used for food processing must be free from microbiological, chemical, and parasitological contaminants. Similarly, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires water sources to meet stringent safety levels, limiting pesticide residues, heavy metals, and microbial contamination in processing environments.
In India, Amla processors rely on purified municipal water or treated borewell water, employing filtration, chlorination, and ultraviolet (UV) disinfection to meet these standards. Regular monitoring and testing are conducted to ensure water meets the purity levels necessary for food safety certifications such as ISO 22000, HACCP, and organic certifications.
Using clean and safe water throughout washing, extraction, and powder manufacturing stages is crucial to preserve Amla’s rich vitamin C content, antioxidants, and other bioactive compounds. Exporters like Regal Impex prioritize water quality protocols to deliver products that comply with importer expectations and regulatory demands, fostering trust and promoting smooth market access.
