Total fat determination in milk powder by Soxhlet Extraction
A simple and reliable procedure for the fat determination in milk powder is introduced. The sample is hydrolyzed with the HydrolEx H-506 and extracted with the FatExtractor E-500. This application follows official methods (EN 98/64/EG, ISO 14156:2001, AOAC 945.16). The determined fat contents correspond well to the expected values, with low relative standard deviations (rsd)
