What is the food composition?

Food composition is a term used to describe the analysis of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in the food. In addition to vitamins and minerals, many reports contain information about phytonutrients and macronutrients in food. This information can be used for a number of purposes, including ensuring a person, family or population to obtain enough one type of nutrient, vitamin or mineral. It can also be used to define certain foods that may or may not have allergens. The labels of most types of packed foods appear a shortened version and are designed for the same types of purposes.

There are many organizations, including the Ministry of Agriculture of the United States (USDA), which draw up and spread information about food composition. The information available from an organization like USDA is usually much more detailed than the information printed on packaged foods.

This information can be used to identify, for example, how much lysine is present in 1 cup (240 grams) of this particular type of baby food.

Many countries, especially developed countries, require packaged foods to include tables for food composition. Even very basic foods such as bottled water, wrapped blue berries and ground beef must have at least a shortened table on its package. The imported packaged meals that either do not have a composition table or do not have sufficient must often have the required information attached to the exterior of the package so that the food is legally sold in the country to which it was imported.

Most people use tables for food composition only for a few pieces of information. For example, it is common for people to review calories and fats that are present in a packed meal.

One of its main purposes is to provide people with information so that they can decide in terms of their diet.
