The procedure for ash content determination in food samples begins with the selection of a sample that is believed to be representative of the entire portion. Then, the food is vaporized by dry ashing causing all minerals and water to be burned off.

Why is fasting required for triglyceride determination?

Fasting is required for triglyceride determination because levels of triglycerides in the blood can be affected by recent food intake. Fasting helps ensure accurate test results by standardizing the conditions under which blood samples are collected. Eating food can temporarily elevate triglyceride levels, which may lead to incorrect interpretation of test results.


Why should you avoid the decomposition of samples on heating?

If the temperature of drying is too high, or the drying is carried out for too long, there may be decomposition of some of the heat-sensitive components in the food. This will cause a change in the mass of the food matrix and lead to errors in the moisture content determination. It is therefore normally necessary to use a compromise time and temperature, which are sufficient to remove most of the moisture, but not too long to cause significant thermal decomposition of the food matrix. http://people.umass.edu/~mcclemen/581Moisture.html

Why is oxygen used in food calorimeters?

Oxygen is used in food calorimeters because it is a necessary element for the combustion of food samples. During the process of burning food to measure its energy content, oxygen is required to facilitate the reaction and ensure complete combustion, which determines the amount of energy released during the process.
