Fat determination in Mayonnaise and Chocolate using the Speed­Extractor E-916

 Pressurized Liquid Extraction (PLE) is a well-established alternative for efficient and cost-effective extraction of lipids and various components. However, its application for verifying fat labels in food products is less common. In this context, a reliable and rapid PLE procedure is presented for determining the fat content in samples with easily accessible fat, particularly in mayonnaise and chocolate. For the extraction, the renowned Buchi Product, the SpeedExtractor E-916, was employed in combination with the Multivapor™ P-12 for parallel solvent evaporation. This powerful combination enabled swift and efficient extraction of lipids from the samples. Subsequently, the fat content was determined gravimetrically after the extract had been dried to a constant weight.The application of PLE, utilizing Buchi Products, in the determination of fat content in mayonnaise and chocolate offers significant advantages. It ensures precise quantification, saving time and cost compared to conventional methods. By employing PLE with the SpeedExtractor E-916 and Multivapor™ P-12, manufacturers, quality control laboratories, and regulatory bodies can reliably verify fat labels in these popular food products, contributing to accurate labeling and consumer satisfaction.
