What is Fat?

  • Nutrient used as an energy source
  • 1 g = 9 calories (38 kilojoules)
  • Referred to as a lipid

Importance of Fat

  • Nutrition
  • Appearance
  • Texture
  • Flavor
slide-4
SLIDE 4

Fat Determination

  • FDA mandate for food label
  • Total Fat, Saturated Fat, Trans Fat,

Cholesterol

  • “Good” and “Bad” fat

Fat Extraction

  • Extractable fat = “free fat”
  • Bound fat needs to be extracted
  • Methods to measure Total Fat (free + bound)
  • Weibull-Stoldt
  • AOAC 922.06

Calculating Total Fat Content

  • Sum Parameter
  • Sample Matrix
  • Fatty Acid Spectrum

Conclusions

  • Weibull-Stoldt/Hydrotherm exceeds AOAC standards
  • 9 of the 21 products had higher fat recoveries
  • Significant time savings are 7 minutes per sample
  • 22% cost reduction per sample

“The elimination of flammable hazardous waste allows the Hydrotherm….to be greener and environmentally friendly.”
