DETERMINATION OF TOTAL REDUCING SUGAR BY LANE-EYNON
METHOD 
1.  EQUIPMENTS AND  REGENTS  NEEDED 
- Laboratory glassware 
- Electronic balance 
- Bunsen burner 
- Fehling solution 1 ( cooper sulphate
solution ) 
- Fehling solution 2 (alkaline tartrate solution ) 
- Standard invert sugar solution ( for standardization of
Fehling so in.1) 
- Methylene blue solution (1% in water) 
2.  SAMPLE PREPARATION  
Dissolve 5g  of sample with water and dilute  to 100ml in a
volumetric flask. 
NOTE: the sample sugar solution is prepared so that 100ml of
the solution  
             Contain 200 ~ 250mg of reducing sugar 
3.  PROCEDURE 
3.1.  standardization of Fehling solution 
 
- Pipette each 5ml of Fehling solution. 1& 2 
- Add 19ml of standard invert sugar solution from burette ,
and mix well 
- Boil 4min ( keeping to avoid bumping) 
- Add 4 drops of  methylene blue 
- Without removing the flame, complete the titration with
standard invert sugar solution, until the indicator is decolorized. Record the
volume required 
           * the titration should be finished  
      
10ml, of mixed Fehling solution should require 20.36ml of
standard invert sugar therefore 
Factor of Fehling solution. ( f ) = ml of standard invert
sugar required / 20.36  
NOTE: titration volume of standard invert sugar should be
20.36 #177; 0.5ml if difference is more than that adjust concentration of
Fehling solution 1 by addition of  copper sulphate or water 
3.2.  preliminary titration 
- Pipette each 5ml of Fehling solution.1&2 
- Add 15ml of sample sugar solution  from burette and mix well
 
- Heat the mixture to boil ( keeping to avoid bumping ) 
- Add 4 drops of methylene blue if blue color is disappeared
already, dilute sample solution and try again from 1 
- Without removing the flame, complete the titration with
sample  sugar solution, until the indicator is decolorized. Record the volume
required 
3.3.  final titration  
- Pipette each 5ml of  Fehling solution. 1 & 2  
- Add the sample solution of which volume is 1ml less than the
volume required in the preliminary titration. 
- Boil for 2min ( keeping to avoid bumping ) 
- Add 4 drops of metylene blue 
- Without removing the flame complete the titration until the
indicator is decolorized with sugar solution. 
* the titration should be finished within 3min. 
4. CALCULATION 
Total reducing sugar content ( %) =   
a = Lane-Eynon  factor as mg of reducing
sugar corresponding to the milliliters of sample  sugar                        
  
    
solution required from table 
b = ml of the sample sugar solution
required 
f =  Factor of Fehling solution 1 
s = Weight of the sample taken (g ) 
v = Volume of the sample solution prepared 
DETERMINATION OF THE FAT CONTENT BY THE SOXHLET
METHOD 
1. EQUIPMENTS AND REAGENT NEEDED 
- Laboratory electron balance 
- Laboratory flasks 
- Extraction thimble 
- Soxhlet extraction  apparatus 
- Ethyl ether 
2. SAMPLE PREPARTION 
The sample that will be analyzed by the Soxhlet method must be
well dried and grinded so as to pass a N°30 sieve. It must be stored in an
air-tight bottle if it is not used immediately.  
3. PROCEDURE 
- Weigh accurately about 5g of sample ( W1) 
- Transfer to an extraction thimble and stopper with defatted
cotton wool 
- Dry at 105°C - 110°C for one hour 
- Place the thimble in the Soxhlet extraction apparatus 
- Put ethyl ether up to 2/3 of flask 
- Set up the apparatus and start extraction. (the temperature
has to be controlled so that 80  
   condensed drops fall down on the thimble per minute, and
keep this for 8 - 16hours). 
- Evaporate the used ether, so as to remain with lipids
only 
- Weigh  the fat extracted ( W2 ) 
- Calculate the percentage fat of the food by the formula: 
                          
 % Fats =   
 
DETERMINATION OF PROTEIN CONTENT BY THE KJELDAHL
METHOD 
4. EQUIPMENTS AND REAGENT NEEDED 
- Laboratory glassware apparatus 
- Electron balance 
- Concentrated 
H2SO4 
- Potassium sulfate 
- Copper sulfate 
- 45% NaOH solution 
- 4% H3BO3  Solution 
- Mixed indicator 
- Standard 0.02N- HCl solution 
5. SAMPLE PREPARTION 
The sample that will be analyzed by the Kjeldahl  method must
be well dried and grinded so as to pass a N°30 sieve. It must be stored in
an air-tight bottle if it is not used immediately. 
6. PRINCIPLE  AND  PROCEDURE 
The food is digested first, by means of heating it into a
digestion flask, in presence of concentrated sulfuric acid (which digest the
food), sodium or potassium sulfate (to speed up the reaction by rising the
boiling point) and copper sulfate (as catalyst). This digestion converts
nitrogen in the food into ammonia  in the form of ammonium
(NH4+) which binds to the sulfate ions
(SO42-), and produces  gases  such as
CO2, H2O. 
                         H2SO4 /
Heat 
N (food)      Catalysts           
(NH4) 2SO4       
After digestion has been completed, the solution in the
digestion flask must be made alkaline by addition of sodium hydroxide, which
converts the ammonium sulfate into ammonia gas.    
  
(NH4) 2SO4
+2NaOH                       2NH3 +
2H2O + Na2 SO4  
The ammonia gas produced is received into another flask,
containing an excess of  boric acid. The low pH of the solution in the
receiving flask converts ammonia gas into the ammonium ion, and simultaneously 
converts the boric acid  to borate ion: 
 NH3 +H3BO3 
                      NH4+ + 
H2BO3- 
The nitrogen content  is then estimated by titration of the
ammonium borate formed, by standard sulfuric  or hydrochloric  acid, using a
suitable indicator to determine the end-point of the reaction. The
concentration of hydrogen ions (in moles) required to reach the  end-point, is
equivalent  to the concentration of nitrogen  that was in the  original
food. 
    H2BO3-  + H+
                             H3BO3 
                     
The  following is the equation that can be used to  determine
the nitrogen concentration of a sample that weighs 
m grams, using  xM
 HCl acid  solution for the titration. 
                         
 
% Nitrogen =     
Where  x = Molar concentration of the acid used for
titration 
   Vs= Titration volume for the sample 
   Vb= Titration volume for the blank 
    m = Mass of the original sample 
Once the nitrogen content has been determined, it is converted
to a protein content using the appropriate conversion factor F
(usually 6.25 is used). 
                      
% Proteins = F % Nitrogen 
DETERMINATION OF VITAMIN C  CONTENT  BY  INDOPHENOL 
SOLUTION 
1. EQUIPMENTS AND REAGENT NEEDED 
- Laboratory glassware   apparatus 
- Electron balance 
- 10% TCA solution 
- Standard ascorbic acid solution (1mg/ml) 
- Standard Indophenol solution 
2. PRINCIPLE  AND  PROCEDURE 
The determination of vitamin C is based on the fact that it is
titratable by Indophenol in presence of  Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA)
solution. 
The procedure of the experiment is briefly described below. 
- Standardization of Indophenol solution 
- Weigh a sample, grind it, and  mixing the ground sample with
TCA in a flask 
- Titrating with Indophenol solution 
- Titrating also TCA without sample (for blank) 
- Calculate the % Vit C, by the formulae 
% Vit C (mg/100g) = (A - B) C  100/10 1/S 100
 
Where  A = Volume (in ml) of Indophenol  solution used for 
sample 
  B = Volume (in ml) of Indophenol solution used for  blank 
  C = Mass  (in mg) of ascorbic acid equivalent to 1.0 ml of
standard Indophenol 
         solution    
  S = Weight of the sample taken.
