Abstract:
In a society where the consumer health is vital, it must be ensured that all foods during their manufacturing process, production, handling, storage, and distribution are safe, healthy and are suitable for human consumption. The quality control of these foods, avoids barriers with business transactions, facilitates technological cooperation between countries and creates confidence among manufacturers, suppliers and customers. The company Agrolab Ibérica S.L.U. is already accredited to determine the total dietary fiber (TDF) in the grains, flours and derivatives matrix.However, the large market demand makes it necessary to extend the certification to all food matrices. In this bachelor’s degree final project, it is performed a validation of total dietary fiber to the entire range of food, by gravimetric - enzymatic method accredited according to ISO 17025: 2005. The analysis method is based on the AOAC Official Method 991.43. Thanks to certified reference materials, of interlaboratory exercises and real food samples, the food triangle will be completed, covering all possibilities in food matrices.
