Various foods consumed give energy to people. For this, carbohydrates in food are used first. When all is depleted, the body then uses fats and then proteins as an energy source. In other words, carbohydrates, fats and proteins provide energy to the body through the foods taken. The energy in food is usually measured in kilocalories. Energy density, or the amount of energy (in kilocalories) per amount of food, is a property of food.
Nutrition labels are a requirement for most packaged food products sold around the world today. Nutritional values generally include how many calories are in the food, how much carbohydrates, fats and proteins are in the food, and the number of calories per gram of any energy source. In order to determine the energy in the food and to obtain the energy value in kcal / g, foods are analyzed in a laboratory environment.
While calculating the nutritional value of foods or calculating energy, a series of tests are carried out in advanced laboratories. For example, calculation of carbohydrate and energy values, determination of dietary fiber, determination of ash, determination of starch, determination of organic acids, determination of fat, determination of fatty acid composition, determination of cholesterol amount, mineral determination, protein determination, determination of trans fatty acid isomers, salt determination and vitamin analysis as.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. Energy calculation services are among the numerous tests carried out in this context.
