In the course of the nutrition investigations in this laboratoq m-e have occasion to make a great many estimations of fat in samples of portions of animals and in feeding stuffs. The usual Soxhlet extraction of the thoroughly dried sample with ether is the method that has been employed. It is understood that this method gives a determination of the crude fat or total ethersoluble material. By t...

The efficacy of decoction in extracting mycobactericidal compounds from Flourensia cernua (Hojasé) leaves and fractionation with solvents having ascending polarity was compared with that of (i) ethanol extraction by still maceration, extraction with a Soxhlet device, shake-assisted maceration, or ultrasound-assisted maceration, followed by fractionation with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and n-butan...

An improved, rapid method for polychlorobiphenyl (PCB) extraction from lipid rich matrices and determination by GC-MS is presented. PCBs accumulate in the environment, can be extremely persistent, and health complications including neurotoxic effects have been reported. Thus, monitoring these persistent organic pollutants seems prudent. The analytical procedure for PCB assessment from environme...

IntroductIon The presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in fish and other marine organisms is of immediate environmental and regulatory concern. To determine the concentrations of PCBs indicative of contaminant exposure, and lipids, which also characterize physiological conditions of fish, the analytes must first be extracted. Traditionally, this has been done using Soxhlet methods that a...

Abstract To increase the effectiveness of coffee oil processing process in drying beans, this study, pretreatment using a microwave was evaluated. The method carried out with three power inputs. After process, it followed by roasting and grinding beans. Then beans were extracted so that obtained. From 3 variations input power, namely MH, MM, ML, from initial moisture content 56.75%, 7.29% row; ...

Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) using a laboratory-made system are applied for the extraction of thermally labile components such as tanshinone I and IIA in Salvia miltiorrhiza. PLE and PHWE are carried out dynamically at a flow of 1 mL/min, temperature between 95-140 degrees C, applied pressure of 10-20 bars, and extraction times of 20 and 40 min...

A case study of Polish Melilotus officinalis honey was presented for the first time. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) (after steam distillation, Soxhlet extraction, ultrasonic solvent extraction, and solid phase extraction (SPE)) and targeted high performance liquid chromatography with a photodiode array detector (HPLC-PAD) were applied to determine the characteristic components of ...

Carthamin, the natural dye of carthamus tinctorius (Golrang) was separated by soxhlet extraction and further purified in good yields. Its mordant dyeing of wool, using potassium dichromate as mordant, showed a high washing fastness (above 4). Mordanting by "sweet chrome", "sour chrome", and "reduced chrome" proved that last one to be superior.
