Nutritional Labelling Testing India | FSSAI Compliant Analysis | NABL
Auriga Research provides NABL-accredited nutritional labelling testing for packaged food products, generating FSSAI-compliant nutritional information panels. Accurate nutritional data is a legal requirement under the Food Safety and Standards (Labelling and Display) Regulations 2020 and is essential for consumer transparency and regulatory approval.
Our nutritional testing covers proximate analysis (protein, fat, carbohydrates, moisture, ash), individual sugars, dietary fibre, trans fat and saturated fatty acid profiling by GC-FID, sodium by AAS/ICP-OES, and energy calculation. We also provide extended panels for vitamins (A, C, D, E, B-complex) and minerals (calcium, iron, zinc, potassium) for products making nutrient claims.
FSSAI front-of-pack labelling requirements (red/amber/green indicators for sugar, salt, and saturated fat) are being phased in, making accurate analytical data even more critical for product formulation and labelling decisions.
Testing Parameters
- Protein — Kjeldahl method (AOAC 928.08)
- Total fat — Soxhlet extraction
- Saturated fat and trans fat — GC-FID fatty acid profiling
- Total carbohydrates — by difference
- Added sugars and total sugars — HPLC
- Dietary fibre — enzymatic-gravimetric method (AOAC 991.43)
- Sodium — AAS/ICP-OES
- Energy calculation (kcal and kJ)
- Vitamins: A, C, D, E, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, folic acid
- Minerals: calcium, iron, zinc, potassium, phosphorus
- Cholesterol by GC-FID
Turnaround Time
Standard nutritional labelling panels take 10-12 business days. Proximate analysis alone takes 5-7 business days. Extended panels with vitamins and minerals take 12-15 business days.
