ROLE OF FOOD ANALYSIS Food analysis is a
prerequisite for ascertaining product quality, implementing regulatory
enforcements, checking compliance with national and international food
standards, contracting specifications and nutrient labelling requirements. Food analysis is a diverse and interdisciplinary field of research that has a
significant health, societal and economic impact. It aims to characterise food
products in terms of chemical composition, traceability, safety, quality,
sensory perception and nutritional value.
