  1. Fat Determination Study -Hydrotherm vs. AOAC 922.06

  2. What is Fat? Nutrient used as an energy source 1 g = 9 calories (38 kilojoules) Referred to as a lipid

  3. Importance of Fat Nutrition Appearance Texture Flavor

  4. Fat Determination FDA mandate for food label Total Fat, Saturated Fat, Trans Fat, Cholesterol “Good” and “Bad” fat

  5. Fat Extraction Extractable fat = “free fat” Bound fat needs to be extracted Methods to measure Total Fat (free + bound) Weibull-Stoldt AOAC 922.06

  6. Calculating Total Fat Content Sum Parameter Sample Matrix Fatty Acid Spectrum

  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

  8. Test Equipment Traditional AOAC 922.06 Weibull-Stoldt

  9. Study Results Chip Samples Test Data Soup & Sauce Test Data Meat Test Data Link Link Link

  10. Benefits of Weibull-Stoldt /Hydrotherm Method Cost savings Time savings Reproducible Results Improved precision High through-put Universal No fume hood required

  11. Observations Overall Testing Ease Cost Savings Significant Time Savings Safety Advantages

  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.”
