Total fat determination in meat products using Economic Continuous Extraction
HydrolEx H-506, FatExtractor E-500 ECE: Total fat determination in meat products
A simple and reliable procedure for fat determination of meat products by Economic Continuous Extraction (ECE) is introduced. The sample is hydrolyzed with the HydrolEx H-506. The Economic Continuous Extraction (ECE) is a continuous extraction where the sample is constantly kept in hot solvent vapor whilst efficiently rinsed with freshly distilled solvent.This extraction method is also called Twisselmann.The total fat content is determined gravimetrically after the extract has been dried to a constant weight.
