Food Composition
Food composition analysis is a comprehensive approach used to determine the nutritional content, chemical composition, and sensory characteristics of food and beverage products. This analytical technique involves quantifying the levels of macronutrients (such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), micronutrients (such as vitamins and minerals), water content, additives, preservatives, and contaminants present in food samples. Analytical methods such as chromatography , spectroscopy, mass spectrometry are employed to analyze food composition accurately.
Accurate food composition analysis is essential for ensuring food safety, quality, and compliance with regulatory standards and dietary guidelines. In nutrition science, it provides valuable data for assessing dietary intake, formulating dietary recommendations, and addressing nutritional deficiencies or imbalances. In food industry, it supports product development, labeling, and quality assurance by verifying nutritional claims, optimizing formulations, and detecting adulteration or contamination. Moreover, food composition analysis plays a crucial role in food research, innovation, and consumer education, promoting healthy eating habits and food security.
