  • Title: Determination of fat content and fatty acid composition in meat and meat products after supercritical fluid extraction.
    Author: Berg H, Dahlberg L, Mathiasson L.
    Journal: J AOAC Int; 2002; 85(5):1064-9. PubMed ID: 12374405.
    Abstract:
    Two different relatively simple, commercially available supercritical fluid extractors (SFE), Leco and Foss-Tecator, were tested for the determination of total fat content in meat and meat products. The fatty acid composition in meat and meat products was also determined after the Foss-Tecator extraction in an aliquot of the extract. Total fat was determined by weighing after the different extraction procedures and the fatty acid composition by gas chromatography after hydrolysis and methylation of the extract. The results for total fat content agreed well with results from a standard method of Schmid, Bondzynski, and Ratzlaff, which uses conventional solvent extraction. Fatty acid composition was compared with the Bligh and Dyer extraction, and showed good agreement. The average relative difference between SFE and Bligh and Dyer of all fatty acids in the sample was <3% for acids exceeding 0.5% of total fatty acid amount. The advantages of SFE over traditional methods are a much lower consumption of hazardous organic solvents and shorter extraction times. To obtain quantitative recoveries by SFE, ethanol was added to the extraction cells before extraction.
