Nutritional Labelling
Nutritional labelling helps consumers understand the nutrient content of food and make healthier choices. It provides key information such as calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals.
[Detailed Description ]
Comprehensive Nutritional Labelling & Composition Analysis
Nutritional labelling is a critical analytical service that determines the nutritional composition of food and nutraceutical products for accurate declaration on product labels. This includes the quantification of macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and energy values, as well as micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. With increasing awareness about health and diet, accurate nutritional information has become essential — incorrect or misleading labels can affect consumer trust and may not meet regulatory requirements.
The analysis is performed using HPLC and LC-MS/MS by validated and standardised methods to ensure precision and reliability. Advanced analytical techniques, including chromatography and spectrometry, are employed for accurate estimation of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. This service supports compliance with food safety regulations, including labelling requirements specified by authorities such as FSSAI and international guidelines, helping manufacturers validate label claims, avoid misbranding, and enhance transparency.
