Nutrition Analysis Test

Nutrition analysis is essential for customers to understand basic nutrients in retail products. Nutrition analysis services from SGS offer manufacturers, retailers, importers and exporters analysis testing that can help with compliance and address consumer concerns.

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.
