Dear Student,
Various tests are performed to know which nutrient ispresent in
which food item For example: to find out the presence of
carbohydrate in a particular food item, tests like Benedict's tets,
molisch tests can be performed Similarly there are other tests for
other nutrients
Hope this clears your doubt,
