Abstract The first action modified Babcock method for crude fat in canned fish, 18.013, was studied collaboratively on 2 samples of canned fish and 2 samples of frozen fish. The results were compared with those by the official acid hydrolysis method, 18.012. Nine analysts, representing 5 different laboratories, cooperated in the study. The results show that the modified Babcock method has about the same degree of reliability as the acid hydrolysis method. It was recommended that the method be made official, after some slight changes in the wording.

Abstract The first action rapid modified Babcock method for crude fat in canned fish (18.013) was again studied collaboratively. Two samples of fresh (unfrozen) fish were examined by 6 analysts in 3 different laboratories. The same fish (frozen) together with samples of canned tuna, canned salmon, and a mixture of raw sablefish and canned tuna were examined by a total of 12 analysts in 6 different laboratories. Each analyst also determined fat by the official acid hydrolysis method (18.012). The results show that the rapid modified Babcock method (18.013) has the same degree of reliability as the acid hydrolysis method; it has been rewritten for greater clarity following the suggestions of the collaborators, and the revised form is recommended for adoption as official, final action.

Abstract A rapid method, based on acid hydrolysis in the presence of mineral oil, has been developed to separate extraneous materials from whole and degerminated corn meal, prepared mustard, and soy flour. Corn meal may be first examined for rodent excreta by method 36.032 and then examined for light filth, or it may be analyzed directly for light filth by the acid hydrolysis method. Soy flour is prepared for analysis by solubilizing the protein in dilute sodium chloride solution in the presence of mineral oil. The Kilborn separatory funnel is used with all 3 products. The proposed method improves recoveries of insect fragments by 13—34% and rodent hair recoveries hy 25—54%. Analyst time required for actual assay is reduced by at least onethird. The method will be subjected to collaborative study
