  • Near Infrared Spectroscopy – a Potentially Useful Method for Rapid
    European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2000) 54, 20±23 ß 2000 Macmillan Publishers Ltd. All rights reserved 0954±3007/00 $15.00 www.nature.com/ejcn Near infrared spectroscopy Ð a potentially useful method for rapid determination of fat and protein content in homogenized diets K Almendingen1, HM Meltzer1,2*, JI Pedersen1,3, BN Nilsen4 and M Ellekjñr4 1Institute for Nutrition Research, Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo, Blindern, Oslo, Norway; 2Department of Environmental Medicine, National Institute of Public Health, Torshov, Oslo, Norway; 3Akershus College, Bekkestua, Norway; and 4Norwegian Food Research Institute, AÊ s, Norway Objective: To investigate the potential of near-infrared re¯ectance (NIR) spectroscopy as a rapid and non- destructive method to determine total fat and protein in mixed, homogenized and freeze-dried human diets. Design: 29 students collected duplicate portions of their diet for four consecutive days. In addition, a detailed food diary was kept. The duplicate portions were analysed for total protein and fat content both by traditional chemical analysis (Kjeldahl and Folch methods) and through the recently developed NIR spectroscopy method. In addition, traditional computerized estimation of nutrient composition was performed. Results: Plotting of the NIR-predicted fat content against the chemically analysed fat content gave a correlation coef®cient of 0.99. Plotting of the NIR-predicted protein content against the Kjeldahl-analysed protein gave a correlation coef®cient of 0.81. Conclusion: NIR-spectroscopy seems to be able to determine fat content in mixed, homogenized diets to a high degree of accuracy. In surveys involving duplicate portion sampling this will save time and money.

  • Many Modifications of the Kjeldahl Method Have Been Accepted for the Estimation of Protein in Organic Materials
    PROTE.01-1 PROTEIN (Kjeldahl) PRINCIPLE Many modifications of the Kjeldahl method have been accepted for the estimation of protein in organic materials. It comprises sample oxidation and conversion of nitrogen to ammonia, which reacts with excess sulfuric acid, forming ammonium sulfate. The solution is made alkaline and the ammonia is determined by distilling into an excess of standard acid, followed by titrating the excess acid. SCOPE The procedure is applicable to the determination of protein nitrogen in corn, corn starches, corn syrups, feedstuffs and steepwater when suitable amounts of sample, sulfuric acid and catalyst are employed. Without additional modification, it is not applicable to the estimation of total nitrogen in the presence of nitrates and nitrites. SAFETY NOTE Person(s) performing this method should be trained in the handling and disposal of concentrated acids and alkalis, with emphasis on preparation of aqueous solutions, and in coping with potential spills. Accordingly, they should wear appropriate protective equipment and prepare samples and solutions under a fume hood. They should also understand the performance limits and exhaust (scrubber) requirements of the Kjeldahl apparatus available to them. Glassware should be carefully inspected for defects before use. Dispose of spent copper and selenium catalyst according to Good Laboratory Practice and existing regulations. SPECIAL APPARATUS Standard Kjeldahl digestion and distillation equipment in conjunction with 800 mL capacity Kjeldahl flasks and suitable connecting bulbs are recommended.

BAIDEN Signature: ........................................................... Date: ................................................................... i ABSTRACT Mining activities are undertaken in many parts of the world where mineral deposits are found. In developing nations such as Ghana, the activity is done both legally and illegally, often with very little or no supervision, hence much damage is done to the water bodies where the activities are carried out. This study sought to assess the social impacts of illegal gold mining activities at Dunkwa-On-Offin, the capital town of Upper Denkyira East Municipality in the Central Region of Ghana. The main objectives of the research are to identify factors that trigger illegal mining; to identify social effects of illegal gold mining activities on inhabitants of Dunkwa-on-Offin; and to suggest effective ways in curbing illegal mining activities. Based on the approach to data collection, this study adopts both the quantitative and qualitative approach.
