Nutritional Analysis

Nutritional Analysis

Nutritional analysis or testing is the process of determining the nutritional content of food products and ingredients. The content of the nutrients needs to be mentioned on the label of the food products, and the limit specified on the label should match with the regulatory guidelines.  Nutrition labeling has gained considerable importance in recent years due to increased consumer awareness.

Nutritional content testing also helps manufacturers ensure the products and their content regarding the right amount of protein, fat, fatty acids, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, and many more functional or critical ingredients added.

CEGTH is a reliable and trustworthy destination for nutritional content analysis. We are capable of testing the following parameters under Nutritional Analysis:

  • check-mark-1Energy/ Calories
  • check-mark-1Calories/ Energy from Fat
  • check-mark-1Protein
  • check-mark-1Total Fat
  • check-mark-1Fatty Acid Profile (MUFA, PUFA, SFA, Trans Fat)
  • check-mark-1Carbohydrates
  • check-mark-1Of Which Sugar

We adopt the latest analytical methods, as published in BIS and AOAC. Our food testing laboratory is well-equipped with advanced technologies to test all the parameters mentioned above, enabling complete nutrition labeling and testing program. There are various methods used in nutritional testing, such as proximate analysis that require gravimetric techniques, AAS/ ICP-MS for mineral and elements estimation, protein analyzers, GC-MS/MS for fatty acid profile, and HPLC for determination of vitamins.
