Proximate Testing

Moisture Content

This test determines the amount of water present in the sample. It is important to assess moisture content as it can affect the stability, shelf life, and overall quality of the product.

Ash Content

The ash content indicates the mineral content or inorganic residue remaining after complete combustion of the organic material. It provides insights into the presence of minerals and other inorganic substances in the sample.

Protein Content

Proximate testing helps determine the protein content of a sample. Proteins are essential macronutrients and play crucial roles in various biological processes.

Fat Content

This test determines the lipid or fat content of the sample. It is valuable for assessing energy content and evaluating the quality and suitability of a product.

Carbohydrate Content

Proximate analysis includes determining the amount of carbohydrates in a sample. Carbohydrates are a major source of energy and play a vital role in the human diet.
