Ash, along with fat, protein, moisture, and fiber make up what are referred to as the proximate analyses in food chemistry. Proximate, meaning close or approximate, references the fact that these are tests that don’t assay for a specific molecule, but rather identify a general class of compounds by a particular characteristic. Ash analysis is a necessary first step in any mineral content analysis, whether for nutritional minerals or toxic metals. This first course in our Proximate Analysis Testing series is intended to give you a basic understanding of ash analysis and the primary testing methods used to test food for ash content.
