Fat Determination Study -Hydrotherm vs. AOAC 922.06
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
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

Benefits of Weibull-Stoldt /Hydrotherm Method
Cost savings Time savings Reproducible Results Improved precision High through-put Universal No fume hood required
Observations
Overall Testing Ease Cost Savings Significant Time Savings Safety Advantages
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.”
