Chemical, Rheological and Colorimetric Analysis

The laboratory deals with analyzing foods, fodder, feeds, seeds obtained or used in the experimental reseach.

Analysis carried out by the laboratory:

  • Determination of dry matter and residual moisture
  • Determination of ashes
  • Determination of raw protein (Nx6.25, Kjeldahl method)
  • Determination of row fat toward x solvent extraction (Soxhlet method)
  • Determination of raw fiber and nitrogen fractions (Fiber Weende and Van Soest)
  • Determination of starch (polarimetric method)
  • Determination of pH
  • Determination of color and colorimetric spectrum (CIE / L * a * b *)
  • Rheological measurements (Texture Profile Analysis)
  • Measures of WHC (Water Holding Capacity)
  • NIR (Near Infrared Reflectance)
