Fat Extraction Calculations
Crude Fat Calculation
Crude Fat contained within a food or feed sample can be calculated using the following formula:
% Crude Fat = 100 x (W
2
– W
3
)
W
1
Where: W
1
= Original weight of sample
W
2
= Weight of pre-extraction dried sample and filter bag
W
3
= Weight of dried sample and filter bag after extraction
For Liquid Samples,
W
2
and
W
3
in the equation above will include the weight of Diatomaceous Earth (DE).
For Meat Samples with > 15% fat and plant samples with > 20% fat:
% Crude Fat = 100 x ((W
2
– W
4
) – W
3
)
W
1
Where: W
4
= Weight of the weigh tin
Total Fat Calculation
If hydrolysis is done prior to fat extraction, then Total Fat contained within a food or feed sample can be calculated
using the following formula:
% Total Fat = 100 x (W
2
– (W
3
+ (C
1
– C
2
)))
W
1
Where: W
1
= Original weight of sample
W
2
= Weight of dried sample, filter bag, and Diatomaceous Earth (DE) after hydrolysis
W
3
= Weight of dry extracted sample, filter bag, and DE
C
1
= Blank filter bag dry weight after hydrolysis
C
2
= Blank filter bag weight after extraction
The Hydrolysis procedure can be found in the ANKOM HCl Operator's Manual.
