Quality Standards and Certification Processes in Bulgur Production
Nefis Bulgur maintains a strong presence in international markets thanks to its high-quality, reliable production approach. Compliance with global food safety standards is essential for both domestic and export buyers. In this article, we explain the production processes, technologies and certifications that ensure the consistent quality of Nefis Bulgur.
Raw Material Selection
The most critical stage of bulgur production is the selection of the right wheat. Nefis Bulgur uses only premium durum wheat. This wheat variety forms the foundation of high-quality bulgur with its strong protein structure and natural golden color.
- High gluten strength
- Natural yellow carotenoid pigment
- Uniform grain size
All wheat batches are tested in our laboratory for moisture, protein and gluten levels.
Modern Production Technology
Nefis Bulgur production facilities operate with fully automated systems. Each stage of the process is monitored through sensors to minimize human error and ensure consistency.
Main stages of production:
- Wheat cleaning and stone separation
- Steaming and boiling via industrial systems
- Natural drying with controlled heat management
- Cracking and grading (coarse, fine, brown)
- Optical sorting for defect detection
- Packaging with metal detector control
This ensures consistent cooking performance, color and quality in every package.
Quality Control Laboratory
Samples from every production batch are collected and analyzed in our quality control laboratory. These tests follow internationally recognized food safety standards.
Key laboratory tests include:
- Moisture analysis
- Protein and gluten testing
- Aflatoxin screening
- Color and granule uniformity analysis
- Microbiological testing
If any inconsistency is detected, production is stopped immediately and corrective action is taken.
