Nutritional analysis: accurately assess the composition of your products
Why carry out a nutritional analysis?
Nutritional analysis is essential to ensure the quality and compliance of food products, nutritional supplements, and animal feed. It allows for the precise determination of macronutrient (protein, fat, carbohydrate) and micronutrient (vitamin, mineral, trace element) content, while ensuring transparency for consumers and current regulations.
At YesWeLab, we support you in analyzing the nutritional composition of your products by relying on a network of specialized laboratories. Our analytical methods, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), spectrophotometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), guarantee reliable results that comply with regulatory requirements and the expectations of manufacturers in various sectors, such as food, animal nutrition, nutraceuticals, and rheology.

What nutritional analyses should be carried out?
1. Macronutrient Analysis
- Determination of protein content : use of Kjeldahl and Dumas methods for accurate protein analysis.
- Lipid analysis : Soxhlet extraction and fatty acid chromatography to assess lipid composition.
- Carbohydrate and dietary fiber determination : enzymatic and gravimetric methods for quantifying carbohydrates and fiber.
- Energy value assessment : calorimetry and normative calculations to determine energy intake.
2. Micronutrient analysis
- Vitamin determination : use of HPLC and spectrophotometry to quantify vitamins A, D, E, B and C.
- Mineral and trace element analysis : ICP-MS and AAS to measure calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, etc. levels.
- Detection of antioxidants and polyphenols : colorimetric and chromatographic methods to identify these beneficial compounds.
- Amino acid determination (with or without tryptophan): use of HPLC or UPLC to determine the aminogram of protein-rich products
- Dosage of various substances or active ingredients from plant and animal species : use of HPLC, spectrophotometry, chromatography, etc.

Nutritional analysis for which sectors?
Our services are suitable for several industries requiring rigorous control of nutritional composition. For example:
Food industry
Nutritional labeling is a regulatory requirement for many food products. Nutritional analysis helps ensure compliance with current standards (INCO regulations, Nutri-Score, nutritional claims). At YesWeLab, we offer analytical solutions for manufacturers, distributors, and brands in the food industry.
Animal nutrition
The nutritional balance of animal feed directly impacts their health and performance. Our analyses allow us to assess the quality of raw materials and compound feed (proteins, amino acids, digestible energy, fiber, minerals).
Nutraceuticals and food supplements
Food supplement manufacturers must guarantee the presence and bioavailability of nutritional active ingredients (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, plant extracts). Our partner laboratories conduct formulation and stability analyses to ensure product effectiveness.
Why choose YesWeLab for your nutritional analysis?
At YesWeLab, we are committed to providing high-quality nutritional analysis services tailored to your specific needs. Our expertise and network of partner laboratories enable us to provide you with accurate and reliable results, essential for regulatory compliance and customer satisfaction.
