Glycaemic Index Testing
Nowadays, the public have become more concerned regarding their health and vitality, hence the public have shifted towards healthier choices of food. One of the food choices is Low GI food.
GI or Glycaemic Index is a rating system for carbohydrates-based food, according to the rate of blood sugar levels in the bloodstream after eating. So, Low GI foods (index of 1 – 55) are metabolized slower and will release glucose gradually into the bloodstream. Other advantages of choosing Low to Moderate GI diet includes blood glucose control and lowering total cholesterol.
In ensuring the food industry to recognize this concern for healthier food, Unipeq Sdn Bhd has successfully obtained the SAMM accreditation for analysis of Glycaemic Index, and as of today, we are the only laboratory in Malaysia to obtain this accreditation.
We are using the ISO 26642: 2010 method (in vivo) for the determination of the Glycaemic Index (GI) value of carbohydrates in foods.
Required sample amount
- For chemical analysis: 100 g
- For GI Clinical test: >1 kg (to be advised by our technical expert)
The price is inclusive of
- Proximate Analysis (SAMM Accredited)
- DF Analysis (SAMM Accredited)
- Sugar Profile Analysis (Not SAMM Accredited)

Tested By UNIPEQ
With the abundance of mushbooh (doubtful) and haram ingredients commonly used in industry today (e.g., Collagen extracted from human hair), there is significant potential for the ingredients to be used by halal food and cosmetic manufacturers.
In relation to the issue, Unipeq introduced a certification scheme, namely “Tested by UNIPEQ” (TBU). Through this scheme, Unipeq Laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025 accredited) will provide services for the engaged companies by carrying out necessary analysis of their products.
Upon certification of TBU to the companies, these companies shall be allowed to use the tagline “Diuji oleh UNIPEQ” or “Tested by UNIPEQ”, subject to terms and conditions. This shows their products comply with the food laws and regulations, as the scheme grants formal recognition to the products that implemented and maintained the safety, quality and halal compliance system.
All in all, “Tested by UNIPEQ” may build trust among consumers towards their brand as the products are in constant monitoring in relation to safety, quality and halal compliance.
