General comments on proximate analysis the composition of the food: no information on digestibility, no information on specific amino acids, minerals, lipids, or carbohydrates -> just get. Food sample is oven dried or freeze dried, loss in weight is equal to the moisture content. Errors: the loss of other volatile compounds like volatile fatty acids and alcohols can cause overestimation of moisture. Modern improvement: freeze drying is more accurate than oven drying. Most further analyses requires a dried sample (think of steps 2-6) Ag, pets, and animal foods-dry matter basics. Human food labelling is on wet weight, o(cid:396) (cid:862)as is(cid:863) (cid:271)asis. Water content is important in human foods, having effects on:
