QUANTITATIVE DETECTION OF FATS IN CHEESE, OIL & MILK
Fat content in food matrices refers to the amount of fat present in a particular food product or sample, expressed as a percentage or weight per unit serving size. Fats are an essential macronutrient and a major source of energy for
the human body. They play a crucial role in various
physiological functions, including providing energy, supporting cell growth, and aiding in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Food matrices can vary significantly in their fat content, depending on the type of food and its processing methods.
It’s essential to be mindful of the type and amount of fat consumed as part of a balanced diet. While some fats are beneficial for health (e.g., monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats found in nuts and fish), others, like trans fats and excessive saturated fats, should be limited due to their adverse effects on health. Understanding the fat content in different food matrices can help individuals make informed choices about their dietary intake and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
