According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, standardized methods like the Kjeldahl test are critical for food safety and nutritional labeling. A biochemical test of food is an analytical procedure that uses chemical reagents to identify or measure the concentration of specific biological molecules, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids, within a food sample. These tests are fundamental in both laboratory and industrial settings for confirming nutritional content and detecting adulteration.
