Q

If you have a method that you want to use to measure % fat in a product and it is not AOAC approved how would you determine if it is accurate?

Study These Flashcards
A

Take known fat percentages and run them with the method to perform a standard curve so that you can determine the linear range of your method and assure its accuracy

24
Q

What does AOAC stand for?

Study These Flashcards
A

Association of Official Analytical Chemists

25
What is a kjeldahl apparatus used for?
To measure net proteins in foods - nitrogen content
26
What is a Foss-Let analyzer used for?
To measure % fat
27
How would you measure fat oxidation in meat products?
Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) analysis
28
The TBA analysis is a colorimetric reaction - what does this mean?
the analyte of interest does not have a chromaphore and must react with a substance so that a chromaphore is created and absorbance can be read to determine the concentration of an analyte
29
Why is absorbance generally used in spectroscopy experiments instead of transmittance?
Absorbance has a linear relationship with concentration based on Beer's Law - transmittance does not have a liner relationship with concentration
30
What is spectroscopy?
Production measurement and interpretation of spectra arising from the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter
31
What type of HPLC utilizes a polar column and a less polar solvent (stationary phase)?
Normal Phase HPLC
32
What does FID stand for?
Flame Ionization Detector
33
what characteristic of compounds is usually utilized to separate compounds in gas chromotography?
Molecular weight
34
how many significant figures is in the number 0.000401?
3
35
what CHO is only naturally produced in milk?
Lactose
36
which of the following is NOT a method used to determine the fat content of a food: A. soxhlet extraction B. mojonnier extraction C.goldfish method D.karl fischer
karl fischer
37
what is the moisture content of corn flakes after exiting the oven and cooling?
3-5% moisture
38
What does it mean for data to be accurate?
the data is close to the true value for the measurement
39
What does it mean for data to be precise?
Data points are close together
40
What does HPLC stand for?
High Performance Liquid Chromatography or High Pressure Liquid Chromatography
41
What does GC-MS stand for?
Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry
42
What is the purpose of GC-MS?
To separate volatile compounds and identify them based on mass/charge ratios
43
What does SPME stand for in analytical chemistry?
Solid Phase Micro Extraction
44
What is the wavelength range of UV-Vis spectroscopy?
200-700nm (UV=200-350nm
45
What is BOD COD and what are their units of measurement?
Biological Oxygen Demand
46
What type of compounds is flame photometric detector (FPD) specific for?
FPD is specific to compounds containing sulfur groups
47
What does ELISA stand for and what does it detect?
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay its an immunological or biochemical test to detect desirable and undesirable substances.
48
Gel filtration separation of proteins is taking advantage of: A.protein charge B.protein size C.molecular affinity or D.pH?
B. protein size
49
Atomic Mass Spectroscopy separates molecules according to their m/z ratio. What is the m/z ratio?
ratio of mass to charge
50
Rank the following membrane separation methods based on increasing pore size: microfiltration - reverse osmosis - ultrafiltration
RO
51
Name the 4 layers in an ELISA
capture antibody
52
what colour is anthocyanin at pH 8-9
yellow
53
the amount of fat allowed in skim milk
0.50%
