Proximates Analysis

At GPAL, we offer comprehensive proximates analysis to give you a complete breakdown of your product’s composition. Our expert team uses advanced methods to ensure precise results across the following key components:

• Moisture Testing: Measuring moisture content is crucial for understanding the shelf life and stability of food products. High moisture levels can lead to spoilage, while low moisture levels can affect texture and quality. We provide accurate moisture analysis to help optimize product formulation and ensure freshness.
• Ash Testing: Ash content reflects the total mineral content of a food product. It provides insights into the inorganic compounds in a sample, such as minerals like calcium and magnesium. Our ash testing helps manufacturers understand the mineral composition of their products, particularly in grains and flours.
• Crude Fat Testing: Fat content is an important factor in determining the nutritional value and taste of food products. Our crude fat analysis helps you verify the fat content in your products, ensuring accurate labeling and compliance with nutritional guidelines.
• Fiber Testing: Dietary fiber is a key component for nutritional labeling, particularly in products like cereals, grains, and snacks. Our fiber testing provides accurate measurements of both soluble and insoluble fibers, helping manufacturers meet dietary claims and provide transparent labeling.
• Protein Testing: Protein is a vital macronutrient, and its content must be accurately measured in many food and grain products. We offer precise protein analysis, ensuring that your products meet nutritional requirements and provide accurate information to consumers.
