Nutritional analysis: accurately assess the composition of your products
Why perform a nutritional analysis?
Nutritional analysis is essential to guarantee the quality and compliance of food products, nutritional supplements, and animal feed. It allows for the precise determination of macronutrient (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates) and micronutrient (vitamins, minerals, trace elements) content, while ensuring transparency for consumers and compliance with applicable regulations.
At YesWeLab, we support you in analyzing the nutritional composition of your products by leveraging 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 processing, animal nutrition, nutraceuticals, and rheology.

What nutritional analyses should be performed?
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 evaluate lipid composition.
- Carbohydrate and dietary fiber analysis : enzymatic and gravimetric methods for quantifying carbohydrates and fiber.
- Energy value assessment : calorimetry and normative calculations to determine energy input.
2. Micronutrient Analysis
- Vitamin assay : use of HPLC and spectrophotometry to quantify vitamins A, D, E, B and C.
- Analysis of minerals and trace elements : ICP-MS and AAS to measure the levels of calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, etc.
- Detection of antioxidants and polyphenols : colorimetric and chromatographic methods to identify these beneficial compounds.
- Amino acid analysis (with or without tryptophan): using HPLC or UPLC to determine the amino acid profile of protein-rich products
- Determination 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 tailored to several industries requiring rigorous control of nutritional composition. For example:
Food processing industry
Nutritional labeling is a regulatory requirement for many food products. Nutritional analysis ensures compliance with current standards (INCO regulation, 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 feeds (proteins, amino acids, digestible energy, fiber, minerals).
Nutraceuticals and food supplements
Dietary supplement manufacturers must guarantee the presence and bioavailability of nutritional actives (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, plant extracts). Our partner laboratories conduct formulation and stability analyses to ensure product efficacy.
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 allow us to offer you accurate and reliable results, essential for regulatory compliance and customer satisfaction.
