Food and Beverage Laboratory Design

Laboratories in the food and beverage industry play a vital role in ensuring food safety, product stability, and compliance with both national and international quality standards. F&B laboratory design must support a wide range of testing activities from microbiology, chemistry, sensory evaluation, to physical analysis while maintaining hygiene, efficiency, and test result accuracy.

🔬 Key Components in F&B Laboratory Design:

🥼 Functional Zoning and Hygienic Workflow

• The laboratory is divided into several key areas:
• Microbiology Laboratory: for microbial contamination testing, equipped with biosafety cabinets, incubators, and cross-contamination control systems.
• Chemistry & Nutrition Laboratory: for analysis of nutrient content, food additives, heavy metal residues, etc.
• Sensory Laboratory: a panelist testing room designed to be odor-neutral and distraction-free.
• Preparation & Weighing Room: positively pressurized to maintain clean air conditions.

🧯 Food Hygiene and Safety Standards

• Room finishes use food-grade materials: anti-slip epoxy flooring, chemical-resistant and easy-to-clean work surfaces.
• Ventilation and air circulation systems are designed to prevent airborne contamination and preserve sample integrity.

⚙️ Utility and Instrumentation Integration

• Electrical systems and UPS support analytical instruments such as GC, HPLC, UV-Vis, Kjeldahl, and AAS.
• RO/DI water distribution, compressed air, and nitrogen or helium gas supply are provided as required by testing methods and equipment.
• Drainage systems are coated with acid/base-resistant materials, with separate disposal lines for organic and inorganic waste.

📑 Compliance with Food Industry Standards

• Design follows national and international standards such as BPOM, ISO 22000, HACCP, SNI, Codex Alimentarius, and FSSC 22000.
• Supported by a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) for test data management and sample tracking.
