食品分析 1. Food analysis *Introduction Food analysis involves the estimation of the main components of a food using procedures that allow a reasonably rapid and acceptable measurement of various food fractions without the need for sophistical equipment or chemicals. *Proximate analysis of foods Proximate analysis may be defined as the determination of a group of closely related compounds together, e.g. total protein. It conventionally includes determinations of the amounts of water, protein, fat (ether extract), ash and fiber, with nitrogen free extract being estimated by subtracting the sum total of these five percentages from 100. Nitrogen-free extract (NFE)% = 100-(% water+% protein + % fat + % ash + % fiber) 2
