Introduction Crude fat is the term used to refer to the crude mixture of fat-soluble material present in a sample. Crude fat also known as the ether extract or the free lipid content the traditional measure of fat in food products. The lipid materials may include triglycerides‚ diglycerides‚ monoglycerides‚ phospholipids‚ steroids‚ free fatty acids‚ fat soluble vitamins‚ carotene pigments‚ chlorophylls‚ etc. The common approach for total crude fat determination is based on the solubility of lipids

The Effect of temperature on beetroot This experiment is designed to investigate the effect of varying temperature (centigrade) on beetroot and its cells. My earlier experiment suggest that as temperature increases the integrity of the beetroot cell membrane will be destroyed and a subsequent release of beetroot pigment will be released into its surrounding milieu(in this case distilled water). In the experiment I will examine if my hypothesis (above) is correct. In order to conduct this experiment

Kate Kirby June 6‚ 2013 Title: Extraction of an Unknown Compound Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to separate a mixture of two or more unknown compounds and identify them based on their melting point and reactivity with an acid or a base. Compound studied/Reactions: The organic solvent used in this experiment was methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE‚ 2-methoxy-2-methylpropane). The unknown that dissolved in the MTBE‚ but was insoluble in water. MBTE is very volatile and flammable. It was

Procedure: The addition of 4.0 mL cyclohexanol‚ 1.0 mL of 85% phosphoric acid‚ and one boiling chip‚ were all added to a 10 mL round bottom flask that would be attached to the end of an assembled simple distillation set up. A sand bath was placed atop a hot plate‚ and the simple distillation mechanism was lowered into the sand bath with the bottom most piece (the 10 mL round bottom flask) submerged about half way. The distillation process was completed after a sufficient amount of liquid distillate

Isolation of Essential Oils by Steam Distillation Procedure Part A Apparatus 1.) Using a 20- or 25-mL round-bottom flask (for distillation) and a 10-mL round-bottom flask (for collection) assemble a distillation apparatus 2.) Use an aluminum block to heat and insert a water condenser 3.) The collection flask may be immersed in ice to ensure condensation of the distillate Preparing the Spice 1.) Weigh approximately 1.0 g of your spice or herb onto a piece of weighing paper and record the exact

If your vehicle is leaking transmission fluid‚ you need to act quickly in order to prevent your transmission from becoming damaged. If you have noticed transparent red or pinkish fluid under your vehicle‚ that is a very clear sign that your vehicle is leaking transmission fluid. Luckily‚ you can easily stop your vehicle from leaking transmission fluid‚ at least for a while‚ with this quick and easy fix. Locating Your Transmission Fluid Fill On the majority of automatic transmission vehicles‚ the

Post lab The unknown solution 4055 was tested by the separation scheme in order to identify the four cations that exist in it. The cations found were Ag+‚ Ba2+‚ Mn2+‚ and Ni2+. When I added 5 drops of 3M NaCl to the unknown solution‚ we had some precipitate‚ we centrifuge and then we divided to two test tubes‚ and they were put in hot water and got confirmatory tested. The Ag+ appeared to be in the solution because it melted‚ however Pb2+ didn’t. With the rest of the solution we added Na2SO4 we had

Purpose: We are doing this experiment to find the best ratio of potassium nitrate to powdered sugar for a model rocket motor that will create the most thrust. We are also testing if adding fins will affect the flight distance of the rocket. Hypothesis: The best ratio for potassium nitrate to powdered sugar is 1 to 3 because Grant Thompson‚ who has experimented with the best ratio of powdered sugar to potassium nitrate‚ has stated that “The 1 to 3 ratio is best for creating the most amount of thrust
