FOOD SAFETY & FOOD APPLIED TOXICOLOGY
Nutritional Profile Optimization
The nutritional profile of a food product determines its purpose and consequently the added value that its consumption brings for different types of consumers (children, adults, the elderly, etc.). Economically, this profile is also essential for positioning producers, processors, and/or distributors within specific market niches.
Nutritional Profile Optimization

Economically, this profile is also essential for positioning producers, processors, and/or distributors within specific market niches.
In the current era, the use of food as support and/or a protective factor against certain diseases or dysfunctions is increasingly valued, due to the growing human population and the rise of such conditions. All these factors place food companies at the center of a strategy that strongly emerges both from international policies and the new scientific data shared daily by the international scientific community. Our services therefore focus on the following aspects:
- Study of the recipe/formula of a new product and/or an existing product
- Identification of functional ingredients
- Study of beneficial and/or nutritional properties
- Evaluation of ingredient bioavailability profile
- Dietary Exposure and Intakes Analysis
- Shelf-life assessment
- Evaluation of potential toxicological implications in short-medium-long term consumption
- Study and development of the nutritional declaration
Nutritional profile optimization is also a strategic element in the study and presentation phase of a new patent, in the case of using particular claims, and in all cases where the company decides to invest in high added value products protecting particular population segments: Flashtox supports companies in all these phases, also through collaboration with the academic world and Institutions.
A fundamental aspect that often goes overlooked is the detailed analysis of the product packaging, which must meet specific requirements to be suitable for food contact without causing unacceptable modifications to the product, both in terms of compliance and potential alteration of the desired nutrient profile. All the above-described services are therefore also addressed to packaging.
