Detailed explanation-2: -Near-Infrared Spectroscopy, which is ideally suited for measuring organic compounds’ quality and quantity, is by far one of the most common techniques used. Food science tools like the quality analyzers produced by Felix Instruments – Applied Food Science, are an industry standard.

Detailed explanation-3: -As per the Food and Safety Standards Act, testing of food articles is to be conducted once in six months through NABL accredited or FSSAI-notified lab. For a food analysis, a sample food product would be drawn, packed, sealed, and sent to an authorized lab to analyze the quality and safety of the food product.
