Wet Chemistry vs Calculated Nutritional Analysis

When Does Wet Chemistry Help?

Direct laboratory testing may be useful when:

• actual product composition needs verification;
• ingredient variability is important;
• supplier information needs independent assessment;
• a specification depends on measured values;
• an unexpected result is being investigated.

When Can Calculation Be Useful?

Calculation may be suitable where:

• reliable formulation information exists;
• ingredient data are available;
• the purpose does not require direct measurement of every component.

Common Mistake

Treating calculated values and measured product values as interchangeable.

They answer related but different questions.
