If you’ve ever been curious about the nutritional composition of the food you’re eating, you are no doubt familiar with the Nutritional Facts Panel. The Nutrition Facts Panel, specified under the Nutrition Labeling Education Act (NLEA) of 1990, has been a standard feature of nearly every food item since 1993. However, you may not have given a lot of thought as to why it has such a specific format, how to interpret all of the information it presents, or what food manufacturers must do to comply with the regulations. This short course is intended to give you a basic understanding of the Nutrition Labeling Education Act (NLEA). At the conclusion of this course you will earn a certificate of completion that you can download and keep for your records. There will also be an option to download a PDF copy of the lesson content to keep and use as a reference.  This course will be available to you for 1 year from the date of purchase. Read more

Il est essentiel de s’assurer que l’échantillon est représentatif de la population, car l’erreur d’échantillonnage est considérée comme la plus grande source d’incertitude analytique. Comme l'échantillon est fractionné pour différentes analyses, chaque portion de test doit être représentative de l'échantillon reçu. Pour ce faire, l'échantillon doit être rendu homogène. Cela implique généralement une réduction de la taille des particules à une distribution petite et uniforme.  Cette courte formation est destinée à répondre aux défis, types d'échantillons et équipements de préparation les plus courants rencontrés dans les analyses alimentaires. À la fin de ce cours, vous obtiendrez un certificat d'achèvement que vous pourrez télécharger et conserver pour vos dossiers. Il y aura également une option pour télécharger une copie PDF du contenu de la leçon à conserver et à utiliser comme référence.
