Article no. : P3120200
Principle
The discussion of healthy nutrition focuses on the fat content of foodstuffs. For this reason, it is important to know the exact fat content of individual foodstuffs. The experiment shown here presents a method for the quantitative determination of the fat content of foodstuffs by extraction using a Soxhlet apparatus. This small size of this Soxhlet extractor makes it possible to extract small quantities using extremely small amounts of solvent.
Benefits
- Controlled and safe heating via heating mantle and power regulator
- Secure connection of the items by GL screw joint system
Tasks
Calculate the fat content of a sausage using soxhlet extraction.
Learning objectives
- Soxhlet apparatus
- Fat extraction
- Food chemistry
