BS EN ISO 11052:2006

Comprehensive Food Technology Standard

BS EN ISO 11052:2006 is a critical standard for the food industry, providing detailed guidance on the determination of the calorific value of foods and food components. This standard is an essential reference for food manufacturers, laboratories, and regulatory bodies, ensuring accurate and consistent calorie measurement across the sector.

Precise Calorie Determination

At the core of this standard is a set of standardized methods for the direct and indirect determination of the calorific value of a wide range of food products and ingredients. The standard covers:• Direct calorimetric determination using bomb calorimetry• Indirect calculation based on the chemical composition of the foodThese robust, validated procedures ensure that calorie content is measured accurately and reliably, enabling food producers to provide consumers with precise nutritional information.

Ensuring Regulatory Compliance

Compliance with BS EN ISO 11052:2006 is essential for food businesses to meet the stringent labeling and reporting requirements set out in regulations such as:• EU Food Information to Consumers Regulation (FIC)• Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA) in the United StatesBy adhering to the standards outlined in this document, food manufacturers can demonstrate that their calorie data is scientifically sound and in line with the latest industry best practices.

Key Benefits:

• Provides standardized, validated methods for accurate calorie determination• Ensures compliance with mandatory nutrition labeling regulations• Enables consistent calorie reporting across the food supply chain• Supports product development and reformulation efforts• Builds consumer trust through transparent, reliable nutritional information

Comprehensive Guidance

BS EN ISO 11052:2006 is an indispensable resource for any food business or laboratory involved in the analysis and reporting of the calorific value of foods. The standard covers:• Principles and requirements for calorimetric determination• Procedures for sample preparation and analysis• Calculation methods for indirect calorific value determination• Quality assurance and method validation protocolsWith its detailed technical specifications and clear, step-by-step instructions, this standard ensures that food professionals can confidently and accurately measure the calorie content of their products.Whether you're developing new formulations, optimizing existing products, or preparing nutritional labels, BS EN ISO 11052:2006 is an essential tool for maintaining compliance and delivering accurate calorie information to consumers.
