Food label need to be analyzed for numerous reasons. Governmental and industrial agencies take serious control over the accomplishment of legal, labeling, and authenticity requirements to protect public health and reduce food poisoning incidents. FDA published food-labelling guidance to make sure that food sold in the United States is safe, wholesome and properly labeled. Alfa Chemistry provides nutrition analysis, food labeling and regulatory compliance studies for Food Nutrition Analysis, Nutrition Facts Labels, Ingredient Statements, Allergen and Gluten Free Declarations, Nutrient Content & Health Claims, Shelf Life Testing, Food Allergen, Food Safety, Additives & Preservatives. Our food label includes protein, sugar, fat, total dietary fiber, sodium, calcium, iron, cholesterol, vitamin, carbohydrates by calculation, calories by calculation, calories from fat, shelf life, additive and preservative information. Scientists at Alfa Chemistry offer top-notch services with high responsibility for your food label studies, and we will make it certain that our clients across the world are satisfied with our clarified and transparent results.
Food Nutrition on Analysis and Report
Food nutrition is the total metabolic process that food goes through the body's digestion, transport and absorption, from which the human bodies need to produce nutrients to maintain the growth of various parts of the bodies, continuously provide the necessary energy for daily activities, and then resist some of the diseases caused by malnutrition, improving our physical fitness. Mentioned in the new health strategy by the WHO, an unbalanced diet is one of the main causes of many diseases. Therefore, it is of great significance to analyze the nutritional composition of food. Alfa Chemistry food testing division consists of highly trained food scientists, microbiologists, and analytical chemists to strategically offer our clients outstanding and cost-effective services. We calculate calories by analyzing the contents of protein, sugar, fat, total dietary fiber, sodium, calcium, iron, cholesterol, vitamins, and carbohydrates in our diets to meet our daily energy needs and achieve a balanced diet. Our analyzing and reporting services include but are not limited to the services as follow:
Proteins:Electrophoresis, Fluorescin, Mass Spectrometry
Fat:Soxhlet Extraction, Gabe Method, Rhodes Method
Shelf Life Testing (High temperature, low temperature, accelerated storage stability)
Shelf life refers to the optimal edible period of food, an important indicator of measuring food quality and safety. In the shelf life, the food production enterprises should take responsibilities for the quality of the food, so that sellers can be assured to sell these food and consumers can use securely. Shelf life is always affected by chemical compositions of food, processing technology, packaging, storage conditions and other factors. Thus, the food should be eaten before the expiration time. We should pay attention to meat products, edible oil and eggs' shelf life in particular. Therefore, the determination of the shelf life is conducive to the stability of food quality in circulation, sales and other aspects, which could meet consumers' needs at food's safety, nutrition and so on. We often determine shelf life with accelerated destructive test and actual shelf situation of the observation experiment, and the experiments need some indicators to determine the changes of food quality, including sensory indicators, microbial indicators, physical and chemical indicators.

Our analyzing and reporting services include but are not limited to the services as follow:
Food allergens are ingredients that can cause abnormal reactions in the immune system in food. The common allergies are eggs, peanut, milk, soy, wheat, tree nuts, fish and crustaceans. If our bodies appear hypersensitive response, it will cause the body physiological function disorder or tissue damage, such as, skin reactions (urticaria, vascular edema, eczema), respiratory symptoms (asthma, rhinitis), gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal spasm), systemic response (cardiovascular symptoms, including anaphylactic shock) and so on. With the development of food industry, more and more people appear hypersensitive responses, which have an undesirable impact on the quality of life of mankind, and some of them even endanger humans' lives. So people also pay more attention to food allergens. Therefore, the detection of allergens in the food and labeling allergens in the food label can avoid the sensitive crowd purchasing the food, protecting consumers.

Food Safety Testing
Food safety refers to non-toxic and harmless food, which could meet the needs of nutritional requirements and does not cause any acute, subacute or chronic harm to human health. Food safety problems have been a global topic and the international vicious events of food safety continue to appear, resulting in huge economic losses. Food safety problems mainly include chemical hazard, biological toxin, microbiological hazard, food adulteration and genetically engineered food. According to the WHO and the Centers for Disease Control, 40% of the food pollution in Europe comes up in individual households. In the United States, even 76 million people have foodborne illnesses and 5000 people die each year. Therefore, food safety issues draw people's attention increasingly and people pay more attention to food processing, storage, sales and other processes to ensure food hygiene and edible safety, reduce the risk of disease and prevent food poisoning. Alfa Chemistry food testing division consists of highly trained food scientists, microbiologists, and analytical chemists to strategically offer our clients outstanding and cost-effective services. Our analyzing and reporting services include the services as follow:
Chromatographic Technique: GC, TLC
Spectrum Technology: Raman Spectrum, IR, NIR, Fluorescence Spectrum
Biotechnology: Biosensor, Biochip
Food Additives & Preservatives
Food additives, artificial or natural substances added in the food, are used to improve the quality of food color, aroma, tasty, as well as to meet the need for anti-corrosion and processing technology. For example: preservatives can prevent food spoilage caused by microorganisms, prolong the shelf-time of food, and also prevent food poisoning caused by microbial contamination. As public awareness of food additives is not comprehensive enough, they think additives harmful to the bodies. In fact, as long as we control the amount within a reasonable range, they could not bring about harm to our bodies, on the contrary, it is more dangerous without the use of preservatives, because spoiled food usually causes food poisoning diseases. In addition, preservatives could not only prevent food spoilage, but also kill aspergillus bacteria and other production of toxic microorganisms, which is undoubtedly beneficial to human health. Therefore, defining the dosage and toxicity of food additives can ensure reasonable use of additives, improve food safety, and ensure the health of the vast number of consumers.
