  • Nutritional information is labeled on food containers and packaging in accordance with food labeling standards. This is intended to help consumers make food choices that take into account their own health and nutritional balance, and to help them maintain an appropriate diet. Therefore, all food products, including processed foods and additives for general use, must be labeled with the Nutrition Facts label.

    Foods are composed of heterogeneous and diverse components, each of which is quantified by standardized analytical methods. This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the different concepts of these analytical methods and to master the methods by performing actual analytical operations.
