What is the advantage of using SFE for determining fat content?
What is the advantage of using SFE for determining fat content?
- Improved detection of pesticide residues in food products
- Higher fat recoveries compared to conventional methods using organic solvents (correct)
- Faster extraction time compared to conventional methods
- Reduced need for re-extracting the sample multiple times
How does the on-line piezoelectric detector contribute to SFE for fat determination?
How does the on-line piezoelectric detector contribute to SFE for fat determination?
- Improves the extraction efficiency of pesticides from food products
- Reduces the extraction time required for fat determination
- Enables rapid determination of the point when the steady state mass has been reached without re-extracting the sample multiple times (correct)
- Allows more accurate determination of the final sample weight after all of the fat has been extracted (total fat)
