  • Title: Determination of fat in vegetable foods.
    Author: Rosenthal I, Merin U, Popel G, Bernstein S.
    Journal: J Assoc Off Anal Chem; 1985; 68(6):1226-8. PubMed ID: 4086447.
    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.
