Nitrogen/protein and one-step moisture and ash examination in foodstuffs: Validation case analysis using automated combustion and thermogravimetry determination under ISO/IEC 17025 guidelines

Method validation within food science is a not only paramount to assess method certainty and ensure the quality of the results, but a pennant in analytical chemistry. Proximate analysis is an indispensable requirement for food characterization. To improve proximate analysis, automated protein and th...

description Method validation within food science is a not only paramount to assess method certainty and ensure the quality of the results, but a pennant in analytical chemistry. Proximate analysis is an indispensable requirement for food characterization.

Common food groups (e.g., meat, dairy, and grain products) were included and at the end of validation, we obtained three rugged and accurate methods with adequate z scores (−2 ≥ x ≤ 2) and recoveries (92–105%).
