Nutritional analysis of an alcoholic beverage

As alcoholic beverages rarely contain fat or dietary fiber, fatty acid composition and dietary fiber aren't necessary analyses. Our nutrient content analysis of alcoholic beverage samples includes the required analyses:

• Moisture

• Ash

• Total fat (solvent extraction following acid hydrolysis)

• Protein (Kjeldahl method)

• Sugar profile (HPAEC-PAD method) including fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, sucrose

• Sodium (Na) (ICP-OES method)

• NaCl calculated from sodium (Na)

• Calculated carbohydrate and energy content

• Alcohol content (GC-FID method)

According to EU food labeling regulations, it is not currently mandatory to provide a nutrition declaration on alcoholic beverages sold in the EU. Nonetheless, companies are encouraged to provide the information voluntarily.
