The nutritional data obtained in a food laboratory on the composition of food is of fundamental importance in sectors such as nutrition, the food industry, food regulation, dietetics, health, biodiversity, plant breeding and trade, among others. Thanks to food analysis we can obtain the nutritional value tables that are used in labelling, research or food
You have probably wondered what functional design of a product is and how it can be elaborated, as well as the conditions that must be fulfilled in order to achieve greater efficiency and output.
