The 1047 Hydrolyzing Unit is designed for laboratory use analysing parameters as specified in Foss Tecators Application Notes. Please read these operating instructions carefully and act accordingly. For safety reasons people not familiar with these operating instructions must not use the...
INTRODUCTION Crude Fat is generally defined as sample constituents soluble in appropriate organic solvents, such as diethyl ether, petroleum ether or chloroform. The main constituents in Crude Fat are triglycerols and free fatty acids. In certain Sample types, however, some of the fat, or lipids, are bound as lipoproteins, liposaccharides or metal salts.
Remove all packing material. Use the parts list, packed together with the instrument and check that you have received all parts. Use Fig.2 to identify the different parts. If any parts are missing, contact your Foss Tecator representative. 1047011A Fig. 2 1.

1047 Hydrolyzing Unit in conjunction with 1043 or 1045 Soxtec Extraction Systems, is generally based. For more detailed information on specific types of samples, please ask your local Foss Tecator dealer for "Application Notes". Preliminary preparation In order to achieve as good results as possible, all samples must be homogenized in a proper way before chemical treatment.
Pre-extraction As high fat levels can prevent effective hydrolysis, samples with 10% fat content should be pre-extracted with the same type of solvent as used in the final extraction. 1.Weight in the sample with a precision of 1000 ±2 mg. Load the glass thimble with 1 g celite and the sample.
Hydrolysis Weigh the samples with a precision of 1000 ±2 mg and transfer them to the sample tubes. Add 1-2 g of celite and 100-120 ml of the acid solution to each sample tube. The level of the acid solution must be over the top of the cover of the heaters.
11. Wash each tube by opening the vacuum valve and spray 5x50 ml of approximately 50°C distilled water, by using the water sprayer (Fig. 9). 12. Raise the suction tubes and take out one of the sample tubes. Cover the cleaning rod with a thin layer of defatted cottonwool and wet it with acetone.
Calculation Calculate the fat content according to the formula below. W3 = The extraction cup weight after fat extraction and cooling in desiccator. W2 = Clean and predried extraction cup. W1 = Sample weight. W3-W2 % Fat x 100 If a pre-extraction was required, using two extraction cups, add the two results that have been calculated, and the sum is the total fat in the sample.
MAINTENANCE Change of vacuum valve Loosen all neoprene tubings carefully that are connected to the suction tubes, by removing the plastic straps. Lower the suction tubes down the horizontal plate, so the suction tubes rest against the bottom of the oven. Unscrew the 3 screws that are placed on the white plate on the backside of the hydrolyzing unit.
2. Carefully loosen and pull out the old filter seal. Press gently down the new filter seal. Note: Check carefully the correct positioning of the new filter seals. Change of the lower thimble holder 1. Loosen the old thimble holder by gently easing and pulling it upwards.
