Hi, thanks for the nice video, it is very illustrative. Nevertheless, I have a question: the method actually calls for the Randall modification of the standard Soxhlet extraction to perform the assay, which implies submerging the sample into boiling solvent, (in this case n-hexane). Is it correct to perform the assay with a regular Soxhlet extractor, as shown in the video? Any comment will be helpful. Thanks!!!

Yes. We followed the AOAC 2003.05 official method strictly to make this video which is applicable for regular Soxhlet extraction of different solid samples. Anyways, thanks for your comment. Stay with us.

[@MahmoodHashem]

@@MicroChemsExperiments thank you so much for your rapid response , may I ask another question; can we use standard hotplate instead of heating part in the soxhelt appartus?

[@MicroChemsExperiments]

@@MahmoodHashem Thanks for your second question. In case of hot plate, it will heat only flat bottom part of the flask and only Hexane of the bottom layer will be evaporated at a particular time. But in the soxhlet apparatus, it heats on the maximum part of the flask, as a result evaporation of Hexane from all side of the flask will occur which is much effective way for Fat extraction. So, if you don't have Soxhlet Apparatus facilities, you can use Hot Plate temporarily but it is not recommended for permanent use.

Yes. You can use rotary evaporator to evaporate the solvent.

@@MicroChemsExperiments What's the procedure for that,will you think the fat will be isolated in the receiving flask

[@MicroChemsExperiments]

@@SourodiptoOfficial First, extract the fat from your sample using the Soxhlet Apparatus. Then evaporate the solvent using Rotary Evaporator. Finally you will get pure Fat in the flask. Now take wright and calculate the fat% as done in this video.

[@SourodiptoOfficial]

@@MicroChemsExperiments Thanks for replying to my comments ,I have few doubts regarding the video 1. Whether the fat is collected in the round bottom flask, or certain portions are in the extractor too, if I have to vacuum evaporate it ,do I need to mix the both the portions, ( the Solvent in the RB as well as in the extractor) 2. What's the quantity of solvent taken for 250 ml RB ( as shown in the video), can I perform the same analysis if I have 500 ml Soxhlet extractor ,in that case what would be the amount of solvent. Please clear this doubts,

[@MicroChemsExperiments]

@@SourodiptoOfficial Fat is only collected in the flask. So you have to dry & consider the flask only. Secondly, there is no specific amount of solvent to be added. Amount of solvent should be enough to carry out the continuous reflux through the Soxhlet. You can get idea of amount of solvent from this video. So add solvent in your 500ml Soxhlet accordingly which is enough to recycle/reflux smoothly.

[@cozycovehamstery50]

What is the importance of using hydrochloric acid in fat determination analysis?

[@MicroChemsExperiments]

Cozy Cove Hamstery, thanks for your query Please take a look at the principle of fat extraction of a solid sample. Normally a dried, ground sample is extracted with n-Hexan which dissolves fats and oils of the sample. During extraction, in the Soxhlet Apparatus, n-Hexane dissolves fats and oils of the sample and carries into the Round bottom flask. In this way, the extraction of fat continues for 6 hours by refluxing the n-Hexane (Oil free n-Hexane goes up by evaporating and after condensation it falls on the samples and get down to the flask carrying fats & oils from the sample). After 6 hours, the n-Hexane is then evaporated from the flask to separate it from the oil. The resulting residue (Fats & Oils) is weighed and referred to as ether extract or crude fat. So there is no need to use hydrochloric acid (HCl) in this fat extraction procedure.
