The samples were collected randomly from the company and have been tested for total dietary fibre, total calories which cover up the content of (energy, protein, fat, moisture, ash and carbohydrates), pH value and microbial growth. The presences of natural preservatives also have been checked. All the empirical data were compare to the commercial labels of food product under acceptance level of FDA.
