Moisture, ash, protein, fat, carbohydrate, energy, fibre and salt for labels.
In packaged food a nutrition table is a legal requirement, and declarations must agree with real values within certain tolerances. The full nutritional value analysis gives all the parameters needed for a label in a single report.
Moisture (drying), ash (ignition), protein (Kjeldahl nitrogen × factor), fat (Soxhlet), total dietary fibre, carbohydrate (calculation), energy (kcal/kJ) and salt (sodium) are determined. Additional packages for sugars, saturated fat and vitamins/minerals can be selected.
The result is compared with recipe-based calculation; if there is a deviation outside tolerance, a consulting call is held for recipe or label revision.
