Acid hydrolysis refers to a chemical process in which acid is used to convert cellulose or starch to sugar. In this presentation, we will learn how Hydrotherm do an automated acid hydrolysis to perform traditional fat determination.
7. Study Background
Fat extraction of 21 different products
Traditional AOAC 922.06 vs. Hydrotherm/Weibull-Stoldt
Food and Feed samples tested
Over 1,000 data points collected
12. 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.”
