Glucoraphanin content moves with cultivar, light and harvest day. That is exactly why our own number is not enough. Independent analysis and research partners sit between our claim and your formulation.
Every lot carries an analysis. Some tests run per batch, others per season or per cultivar trial.
Four Dutch institutions, each on a different part of the question. Status is shown as it stands, not as we would like it to be.
Pilot facilities and analytical capacity in the same region as the greenhouse, used for trial batches and method development before a protocol goes to full scale.
Venlo, LimburgTrials and methodsApplied work on substrate, sowing density and harvest window, including the trials that set our day nine cut and the move from cellulose to hemp mat.
Den Bosch and VenloCultivation protocolCultivar and light spectrum work on glucosinolate formation, and the reference expertise behind how we read and report a glucoraphanin figure.
WageningenCompound and cultivarNutrition research capacity for the question a supplement brand eventually has to answer, which is what actually reaches the bloodstream and in what form.
MaastrichtAbsorption and effectNaming a research institution is a claim about them as well as about us. Each entry above is published only with that party's agreement, and describes work that is contracted or under way. Nothing here should be read as an endorsement of a finished product.
The chain that turns a growing batch into a number you can put in your own file.
Light recipe, climate and irrigation recorded automatically against the lot number from day one.
A retained sample is drawn at the cut and held under the same conditions as the shipped lot.
Moisture and water activity measured in line, against an externally verified reference.
Glucosinolate profile and microbiology run by an accredited laboratory we do not own.
Certificate of analysis issued against the lot. Fails are held, not blended away.
Available to qualified buyers. Tell us where they are going and we send the current versions.
We send 250 g and the matching certificate, so you can run it against your own methods before you commit to anything.
Analytical values describe the lot tested. Glucoraphanin content varies with cultivar, light recipe, harvest day and storage, and is confirmed per batch. Photon Farm supplies an ingredient and analytical data. Health claims on a finished product are the responsibility of the party placing that product on the market, under Regulation EC 1924/2006.
