Abstract The fat in vegetable foods—tree nuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds, avocado, and olives—can be determined volumetrically by acid digestion of the material and separation of the fat. The assay can be performed conveniently by using the equipment developed for fat determination of milk (Gerber method). The results agree well with those obtained by Soxhlet extraction. The advantages of using the Gerber method for vegetable foods are simplicity, speed, low operation cost, and elimination of the use of inflammable solvents.

Microwave Assisted Digestion

The concentrations of 12 elements (Ca, P, K, Na, Mg, Fe, Se, Mn, Zn, Sn, Cu and Al) were determined in raw and roasted pumpkin seeds by ICP-AES following microwave-assisted acid digestion. The accuracy of the method determined by spiking experiments was very good (recoveries 95.48103.2%) and the limits of detection of elements of interest were from 0.1 up to 17.4μg g-1, the relative standard deviations were less than 3.52%. Compared with watermelon seeds, winter melon seeds, sunflower seeds and hanging melon seeds, the results showed the five kinds of roasted melon seeds are all rich in mineral elements.

Objective of this work was determination of processing contaminant known as 3-MCPD (3-chloropropane-1,2-diol) in its free and bound form in breads with defined parameters of processing. Selected and analysed were 24 samples, which represented two sets of breads produced in bakeries equipped with a continual line. In all cases determinations were carried out for breadcrumb and crust separately. The first set of samples were wheat-rye breads produced chronologically in ten days in the bakery Michelská pekárna, slightly different in temperatures and times of baking. The second set contained 14 samples of wheat-rye breads with a content of rye flour less than 40% differing in the yeast type and acidity. These breads were produced in the bakery Kontinua. The fat content was determined in all samples by Soxhlet extraction. Free and bound 3-MCPD was determined by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry method. Concentration of free 3-MCPD in samples was at interval < 9–54.5 &mu;g/kg. Concentration of bound 3-MCPD was at interval 1.56–23.60 mg/kg of fat (i.e. 5.7–84.9 &mu;g/kg of sample).

Abstract A procedure has been developed for assaying submilligram amounts of debris from synthetic tire tread rubber in aerosol samples collected from the atmosphere. The procedure involves separation from the bulk of the sample by Soxhlet extraction with orthodichlorobenzene in a stream of oxygen, followed by infrared spectroscopic determination of the rubber hydrocarbon SBR (styrene-butadiene copolymer) in the extract. The procedure was developed to overcome serious difficulties having to do with the small amounts of rubber normally encountered and with losses of SBR during extraction from aerosol samples. These matters are discussed in some detail and some applications of the method are illustrated.
