Gravimetric (Balance / Oven)
AOAC 992.06
Method Description
This method determines the total fat in food. Lipids are extracted from food stuffs by acid or alkaline hydrolysis (depending on matrix, hydrolysis type will be matched to matrix) followed by partition into mixed ethers. The extract is then dried and the lipid residue is weighed and expressed as a percent of the original sample weight. This test is used in several industries where a general total fat value is needed. It does not measure specific types of fat (like saturated fat). Due to the amount of method variability linked to the sample matrix, we recommend Fat (Gas Chromatography) for Nutritional Labeling purposes.
