Nutritionals in No Time

ALcontrol Laboratories have introduced a new testing service that allows them to provide extremely rapid nutritional results.

ALcontrol can now offer a full nutritional analysis (which consists of Energy kJ, Energy kcal, Protein, Moisture, Fat, Ash, Total Sugar, Dietary Fibre AOAC, Fatty Acid Profile, and Sodium) in just 72 hours from receipt at the chemistry laboratory. Furthermore, all the individual component tests are actually performed and they do not infer any results using values from literature.

Chris Smith, Chemistry Laboratory Manager, commented: “Over the last 10 months our food chemistry departments have undergone a series of improvements both in terms of process and new equipment. For example, here in Rotherham we have introduced new working patterns and invested in new technology, such as advanced chromatography software, which significantly speeds up analysis and increases our capacity. Our introduction of the three day turnaround service is an expression of our new found confidence to achieve faster turnarounds whilst maintaining high levels of quality and customer satisfaction.”

ALcontrol Laboratories remains at the forefront of the food testing industry by responding to its customers needs. This premium service is designed to be used when routine services just aren’t fast enough and is focussed on helping food manufacturers meet those impossible launch deadlines.
