DNA barcoding in diet assessment is the use of DNA barcoding to analyse the diet of organisms. [1] [2] and further detect and describe their trophic interactions.[3] [4] This approach is based on the identification of consumed species by characterization of DNA present in dietary samples, [5] e.g. individual food remains, regurgitates, gut and fecal samples, homogenized body of the host ...

Traditionally, food companies would send food samples to laboratories for physical testing. Typical analyses include: moisture (water) by loss of mass at 102 °C; protein by analysis of total nitrogen, either by Dumas or Kjeldahl methods; total fat, traditionally by a solvent extraction, but often now by secondary methods such as NMR
She gives an example of a day’s food to show how achievable it is to hit or exceed the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of protein: porridge with milk = 14g; tuna and sweetcorn sandwich = 26g ...
Food engineering is the industrial processes used to manufacture food. It involves coming up with novel approaches for manufacturing, packaging, delivering, ensuring quality, ensuring safety, and devising techniques to transform raw ingredients into wholesome food options.

To undertake any analysis, unless the whole amount of food to be considered is very small so that the food can be used for testing in its entirety, it is usually necessary for a portion of it to be taken (e.g. a small quantity from a full production batch, or a portion of what is on sale in a shop) – this process is known as food sampling.
