NUTRITIONAL ANALYSIS
Fat Determination system Buchi model B-810/428
Short extraction times are achieved with this very versatile, easy to use
fat extraction system, which complies with British and European official
methods
The unit has six heating positions and two different size Soxhlet
extractors are available. The 30mm size accepts standard paper
thimbles; the large 47mm size also accepts standard paper thimbles but
allows the use of the sintered glass crucibles of the hydrolysis unit to be
used. Also available is the new hot extractor which fits in place of a
soxhlet. The extractor is specially designed to reduce the extraction
time by up to 50%, depending on sample. The system is available in a
number of different configurations, each one suitable for a wide range of
solvent extractions and analyses.
The unit is very simple to operate and all six glass extraction assemblies
are sealed simultaneously by the sealing mechanism. The heat source
is provided by a built-in steam generator or alternatively the unit can be
fitted to an external temperature controlled circulator for use at higher
temperatures.
The unit is perfectly safe for open bench operation and the solvent can
be internally recycled on the operation of a lever The unit is extremely
versatile and can be adapted very simply by the operator to carry out a
wide range of applications in food, textiles, pharmaceuticals, chemicals,
plastics and rubbers.

Hydrolysis Unit model B-428
The B-428 acid hydrolysis unit enables analyses to be carried out in
compliance with European and British official methods which often
require a hydrolysis procedure prior to extraction Simultaneous
filtration and hydrolysis of four samples can be carried out safely on an
open bench in only 15 to 30 minutes using this system. The filter
crucibles holding the hydrolysed samples can be transferred directly to
the 47mm dia soxhlet extractors of the fat extraction system. Samples
ot up to 259 can be hydrolysed. A lifting/lowering jack and a suction unit
facilitate the acid hydrolysis of the samples.

Nitrogen Determination Systems Buchi
The Kjeldahl procedure for quantitative nitrogen determination has
been in use since 1883 and continues to occupy a dominant role in the
estimation of protein in foods. The method has, in the past, been
time-consuming and has also involved the manual transfer of quantities
of concentrated acid and alkali.
The Buchi systems have been designed to overcome these problems
and allow the Kjeldahl procedure to be carried out faster, with greater
safety and with a lower level of operator involvement.
The Kjeldahl procedure is characterised by the use ot bolllng
concentrated sulphuric acid to effect the oxidative digestions of the
organic sample and the reduction of the organic nitrogen to ammonia.
The ammonia is retained in the concentrated acid digest as ammonium
hydrogen sulphate and while it is possible to determine it in situ, the
normal procedure is to render the digest alkaline by the addition of
excess sodium hydroxide, and then to steam distill the ammonia which
may be determined by titration.
Digestion may be accelerated by adding potassium sulphate to ralse
the boiling point of the digest and by using various metal catalysts.
The nitrogen content of the sample is calculated from the ammonia
obtained by titration. The protein content is obtained by multiplication of
the nitrogen content by a conversion factor dependent on the type of
material under investigation.

The above recommendations are based on average time studies and are valid for

Digestion Units Buchi
These digestion units are available with either six or twelve heating
positions and may be operated either independently or via the Buchi
model B-436 programmable remote control unit (N30-150)
The units are equipped with high-power infra-red heaters; the intensive
heating of the samples ensures rapid and complete digestion.
The digestion process normally requires between 35 and 45 minutes to
completion. The apparatus reaches operating temperature in
approximately 5 minutes, and the heat output can be steplessly
regulated with a built-in power controller between 10 and 100%, up to a
maximum temperature of 650C. Therefore the ideal operating
temperature for each digestion can be obtained.
In the 12 position model it is possible to operate only 6 out of he 12
digestion positions, if desired, thus conserving energy, when insulficient
samples are available to fill the unit.
Digestion is performed in cylindrical vessels which are subsequently
used as distillation vessels, eliminating the need to transfer the sample
in concentrated sulphuric acid to another vessel for distillation.
The special design of the vessels largely eliminates bumping during the
digestion, by causing any water drops to reflux along the tube wall
rather than falling into the centre of the tube. Smooth boiling may also
be promoted by the addition of glass beads.
A fume exhaust unit is placed directly on the top of the digestion tubes,
where a special profiled ring and spring clamps provide a tight
connection. The gases and vapours generated during digestion may be
aspirated off by the Buchi B-412 gas scrubbing system (N30-700) or a
water jet pump. Digestion can, therefore, be carried out safely without a
fume cupboard and without atmospheric contamination
Stands with two carrying handles, holding 6 digestion tubes, are
supplied with each digestion apparatus, one with model B-426 and two
with model B-435. The stand can be used to support the digestion
vessels during sample preparation or cooling; the design of the exhaust
manifold allows each manifold with its complement of tubes to be
transferred to the stand as one unit after digestion is completed.

Programmable control unit Buchi model B-436
The B-436 control unit is used to program the heating profile in the digection
block. The programming is carried out by entering time and power steps. A
delayed start may also be chosen, if required. The program data is stored in
a non-volatile memory and the pre-selected parameters are shown on the
liquid crystal display In the event of a power failure no longer than 5 minutes,
the process being run is brought to the pre-programmed conclusion when
power is restored. The digestion control parameters may be altered by PC
linked via the serial interface.
