Proximate analysis, the systematic examination of key components in food, serves as a linchpin in the comprehensive evaluation of nutritional content and safety parameters. This review offers a detailed exploration of proximate analysis, embracing its pivotal role in ensuring the quality and safety of food products. Covering essential components such as moisture, ash, lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates, we delve into the methodologies underpinning these analyses and their profound implications for food quality assurance. As we navigate through the intricate interplay of proximate analysis with shelf life, texture, flavor, and the broader spectrum of food attributes, this review also underscores its crucial contributions to preventing microbial growth, oxidation processes, and potential hazards, thereby upholding consumer expectations, regulatory standards, and the overall integrity of the food supply chain. Additionally, we illuminate recent technological advances in proximate analysis techniques, emphasizing their role in enhancing precision and expediting assessments. In conclusion, this review consolidates the multifaceted significance of proximate analysis, positioning it as an indispensable tool in the continual pursuit of understanding and enhancing food composition, quality, and safety.
