How is the test conducted?
Test item | Test Method |
Ash | AOAC 923.03 18th ed |
Moisture | AOAC 925.10 18th ed |
Organic Acid | AOAC 942.15 17th ed |
Protein | AOAC 981.10 - Block Digestion Method |
Total Fat | AOAC 922.06 18th ed |
Trans Fat | AOAC 996.06 17th ed |
Saturated Fat | AOAC 996.06 17th ed |
Total Dietary fiber | AOAC 985.29 17th ed |
Sodium | ICP |
Alcohol Test | In house GC method |
Available Carbohydrate * | By calculation |
Energy ** | By calculation |
Sugar (Monosaccharide and Disaccharides) – fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, galactose and sucrose. |
With reference to AOAC 982.14 17th ed (HPLC) |
* Available Carbohydrate = 100% - Fat – Protein – Moisture – Ash – Alcohol – Total Dietary Fiber | |
** Energy = 7 x alcohol + 3 x Organic acids + 4 x Available Carbohydrate + 9 x Fat + 4 x Protein | |
# Subject to the sample product nature, SGS will determine to include an alcohol analysis for the purpose of energy and available carbohydrate calculation. |
*Test method may change subjected to the sample matrix
How long will the test take?
It takes 8-16 working days.
How much sample should be submitted for the test?
Please submit a minimum of 450 - 500g per sample.
