Hello everyone, i need some information about cholestrol on food industry. Consumers wants cholestrol value for our products on nutrition label. I know cholestrol what means is it but i need your support for calculating formula. Anyone knows it? Thank you.
Hi,
you can not calculate it.
You need to analyse it, contact with a lab.
I support the recommendation you received to send to the lab for analysis.
However, there are some rules of thumbs:
If the source of cholesterol is dairy, then for each 1 gr of dairy fat, there are 3 mg of cholesterol. There are other factors for different anial sources of fat, check the literature.
Can you please share the literature
Don’t have a scientific source, but look at this - it is per portion but you may get the drift:
Cholesterol content of a fabricated food is not calculated but actually analyzed and measured by HPLC .
