Analytical Platform for Establishment of Food Composition Data for Vitamins – Exemplified by Vitam D
Jette Jakobsen
Abstract:
The analytical data for food samples are no better than the sampling strategy and the performance of the analytical methods. Furthermore, lack of standardised methods for nutrients in foods can be a source of error. But thorough investigation of the components that need to be quantified and careful selection of the method combined with documentation of especially accuracy will secure reliable results. In this paper the state-of-the art for vitamin D analyses in food is used as an example.
