AOAC Official Method 922.06
Fat in Flour
Acid Hydrolysis Method
First Action 1922
Final Action
Place 2 g test portion in 50 mL beaker, add 2 mL alcohol, and stir
to moisten all particles to prevent lumping on addition of acid. Add
10 mL HCl (25 + 11), mix well, set beaker in H2O bath held at
70–80°C, and stir at frequent intervals during 30–40 min. Add
10 mL alcohol and cool.
Transfer mixture to Mojonnier fat-extraction apparatus. Rinse
beaker into extraction tube with 25 mL ether, added in 3 portions;
stopper flask (with glass, cork, Neoprene, or other synthetic rubber
stopper not affected by solvents) and shake vigorously 1 min. Add
25 mL redistilled petroleum ether (bp <60°C) and again shake vigor-
ously 1 min. Let stand until upper liquid is practically clear, or cen-
trifuge 20 min at ca 600 rpm.
Draw off as much as possible of ether-fat solution through filter
consisting of cotton pledget packed just firmly enough in funnel
stem to let ether pass freely into weighed 125 mL beaker–flask con-
taining porcelain chips or broken glass. Before weighing
beaker–flask, dry it and similar flask as counterpoise in oven at
100°C; then let stand in air to constant weight.
Re-extract liquid remaining in tube twice, each time with only
15 mL of each ether. Shake well on addition of each ether. Draw off
clear ether solutions through filter into same flask as before and wash
tip of spigot, funnel, and end of funnel stem with few mL of mixture of
the 2 ethers in equal volumes, free from suspended H2O. Evaporate
ethers slowly on steam bath; then dry fat in oven at 100°C to constant
weight (ca 90 min). Remove flask and counterpoise from oven, let
stand in air to constant weight (ca 30 min), and weigh. (Owing to size
of flask and nature of material, there is less error by cooling in air than
by cooling in desiccator.) Correct this weight by blank determination
on reagents used. Report as percent fat by acid hydrolysis.
