ABSTRACT: Water is omnipresent in foodstuffs and the surrounding atmosphere. In principle‚ the moisture content of a food can therefore be determined accurately by measuring the number or mass of water molecules present in a known mass of sample. It is not possible to directly measure the number of water molecules present in a sample because of the huge number of molecules involved. A number of analytical techniques commonly used to determine the moisture content of foods are based on determinations

Proteins provide our bodies with the amino acids that cannot be produced within the body. Through the process of digestion‚ food is broken down into essential amino acids that can be used for protein synthesis. In essence‚ proteins build up‚ maintain‚ and replace tissues in your body. For instance‚ proteins help make hemoglobin which carries oxygen to all the parts of your body. Proteins are broken down into amino acids during digestion. The amino acids can then be reused when the body needs protein
