• Food Nutritional and toxicological analysis
  Food nutrition and toxicological analysis focuses on evaluating the nutritional content and safety of food products. It involves assessing macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, and fats), micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), and bioactive compounds to ensure compliance with nutritional labeling regulations. Toxicological analysis identifies and quantifies harmful substances such as pesticides, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and other contaminants to protect consumer health. Advanced analytical techniques like chromatography and mass spectrometry are commonly used in these studies to ensure accuracy, reliability, and safety in food quality control and regulatory compliance.
