Total fat determination in food and feed samples

28 Jan 2021

The determination of total fat content in food and feed samples is a common task for food industry quality control labs and for third party contract labs. In this application note, Milestone demonstrates how the ETHOS X can be used for total fat determination in any food matrix by simultaneous hydrolysis and extraction.

The process of fat determination in food and feed matrices is a routine analysis still relies on outdated and matrix-dependent methods which use obsolete and time-consuming technologies. The ETHOS X offers a new approach to gravimetric fat determination, moving toward a more modern, greener and more efficient approach to total fat, Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) and free fat determinations in food and feed matrices.
