AmSpec Agri-Food Laboratory – Dubai supports food manufacturers, importers and retailers with Nutri-Mark nutritional testing requirements, providing nutritional and compositional analysis for Abu Dhabi’s Nutri-Mark program.
We welcome Abu Dhabi’s Nutri-Mark program and its commitment to promoting nutritional transparency, nutritional awareness and informed food choices.
Through advanced food testing, our Dubai laboratory helps businesses assess product composition and obtain accurate analytical data for nutrition labelling. Combining local analytical capabilities with access to AmSpec’s international laboratory network, we help clients address both routine nutritional analysis and more specialized food testing needs.
Supporting Nutrition Labelling with Reliable Analytical Data
Clear nutrition labelling begins with accurate information about a product’s nutritional composition. Food businesses need dependable data to assess their products, review label declarations and make informed decisions about formulation.
Nutritional analysis can also help businesses investigate differences between expected and measured composition, compare formulations and evaluate the impact of changes to ingredients or suppliers. These insights provide a practical foundation for discussions between technical, quality assurance and product development teams.
For businesses preparing for Nutri-Mark-related requirements, identifying the relevant testing parameters is an important first step. The analytical approach should reflect the product, its ingredients and the intended use of the results. Our team can discuss these considerations with clients and help define a suitable testing request.
Supporting Nutri-Mark Nutritional Testing Requirements
Our automated laboratory systems and advanced analytical technologies enable accurate, consistent and efficient analysis of key nutritional parameters:
- Protein: Fully automated Kjeldahl system for protein determination.
- Fat: Fully automated Soxhlet system for fat determination.
- Calorific value: Fully automated bomb calorimeter for calorific value determination.
- Sugars: High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems for sugar analysis.
- Vitamins: Liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamin analysis.
- Trace and major elements: Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for elements including iron, calcium and magnesium.
- Fatty acids and cholesterol: Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for fatty acid profiling and cholesterol analysis.
These capabilities support a detailed understanding of food composition. Depending on the product and the purpose of testing, clients may require analysis of individual parameters or a broader combination of nutritional tests.
Our technical team can review the requested parameters and discuss suitable methods for the food or beverage concerned. This helps align the testing plan with the client’s information needs before samples are submitted.
Specialized Food Testing Through Our Global Network
In addition to our Dubai laboratory’s capabilities, AmSpec’s international laboratory network provides access to specialized analytical technologies, including isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS).
These technologies support the authentication and characterization of sugars, including assessment of added sugars in appropriate food and beverage matrices.
Specialized analysis may be relevant when a client’s question extends beyond nutritional composition to the authenticity or characterization of ingredients. Such investigations require a clearly defined analytical question and consideration of the product being tested.
By combining local expertise with our global laboratory network, we support a broad range of nutritional, compositional, authenticity and specialized food testing needs. Our team can discuss whether local analysis or additional testing through the network is appropriate for a particular request.
