Gerber/Rose Gottlieb for fat content determination and Lacto meter for determining SNF or Reference /Control sample method or results obtained for the same sample by the approved laboratory. Annexure- Il (Gerber Method) Determination of Fat Content in Milk [FSSAI 01.024:2022] Scope This method is for the determination of fat in milk. Caution Follow all safety procedures while handling and disposing solutions. Wear laboratory apron, shoes, safety goggles and mask while working with chemicals. Perform work in fume hood while working with solvents. Refer to MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) for specific information. 1. Concentrated sulfuric acid: Concentrated sulfuric acid is extremely corrosive and can cause serious burns when not handled properly. It reacts violently with water with evolution of heat; can react with organic materials explosively. Do not mix with hydrochloric acid. Good general ventilation should be provided to keep vapour and mist concentrations below the exposure limits. 2. Amyl alcohol: It is a highly flammable liquid. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. Perform all operations under a fume hood. Principle The Gerber method is suitable as a routine or screening test. It is an empirical method and reproducible results can be obtained if procedure is followed correctly. The milk is mixed with sulfuric acid and iso-amyl alcohol in a special Gerber tube, permitting dissolution of the protein and release of fat. The tube is centrifuged and the fat rising into the calibrated part of the tube is measured as a percentage of the fat content of the milk sample. This method can be used for routine purposes. Apparatus/Instruments 1. Gerber butyrometer: 6,8 and 10 percent (IS! = marked). 2. Pipette: 10.75 + 0.03 mL for milk at 27°C. 3. Automatic measure or tilt measure for dispensing Gerber sulphuric-acid: 10 + 0.25mL at27°C. 4. Automatic measure or tilt measure for dispensing iso-amyl alcohol: 1+ 0.05 mL at 27°C. 5. Lock stoppers for butyrometer. Lock stopper key. 7. Water-bath: The water-bath shall be made of a suitable material (e.g. stainless steel). It shall be capable of being maintained at 65+2 °C and shall be of sufficient depth as to support the butyrometer in vertical position with their scale completely immersed. The bath shall be fitted with horizontal perforated plates to hold the butyrometer and shall also carry a suitable thermometer. mn g. Gerber Centrifuge: The centrifuge may be hand-driven or electric driven. The centrifuge shall be capable of producing — - within 2 min when fully loaded, a relative centrifugal acceleration of 350 + 50 gn at the outer end of the butyrometer stopper. This acceleration is produced by centrifuges with the following effective radius (horizontal distance between the centre of the centrifuge spindle and the outer end of the butyrometer stopper) if operated at the speed indicated against each: Effective Radius(mm) Revolution Per Min(+70rev/min) 240 1140 245 1130 250 1120 255 1110 260 1100 265 1090 270 1080 275 1070 300 1020 325 980 Note: The relative centrifugal acceleration (gn) produced in a centrifuge is given by the following formula: 1.42 % 16°* + n* where r = effective horizontal radius in mm, and n = speed in revolutions per min Materials and reagents 1. Concentrated Sulphuric acid (Approximately 36.8 N). 2. Isoamyl alcohol (furfural free). It should have density between0.807 to 0.809 g/mL at 27°C Preparation of Reagents 1. Gerber Sulphuric acid: Take required volume of water in a Pyrex flask (generally 100 mL of water is required for 900 mL of concentrated sulphuric acid) kept in a basin of ice-cold water. Carefully add the commercial sulphuric acid in small quantities at a time keeping the container sufficiently cold and mix gently. Observe the following precautions while preparing Gerber’s acid: o Sulfuric acid is very corrosive. Handle it with care. o Add acid to water. Add small quantities of acid to water at a time and cool the mixture by stirring. Never add water to acid. Use heat resistant flask for dilutions. 2. After cooling the flasks, check the specific gravity of Gerber acid with hydrometer and if necessary, adjust the Gerber acid to the correct specific gravity with addition of water or acid taking same precautions as before till specific gravity is in the range of 1.807 to 1.812 g/mL at 27°C(or 1.815 to1.820 g/mL at 20°C . Store the prepared acid ina glass stoppered bottle to avoid absorption — of water. Method of analysis 1. Transfer 10 mL of sulphuric acid into a butyrometer tube, preferably by use of an automatic dispenser, without wetting the neck of the tube. 2. Mix the milk sample gently but thoroughly and fill the 10.75 ml milk pipette above the graduation line. 3. Wipe the outside of the pipette and allow the milk level to fall so that the top of meniscus is level with the mark. 4. Run the milk into the butyrometer tube along the side wall without wetting the neck, leave to drain for three sec and touch the pipette’s tip once against the base of the neck of the butyrometer tube. 5. Add 1 mL of amyl alcohol, close with a lock stopper, shake until homogeneous, inverting it for complete admixture of the acid. 6. Keep in water bath at 65+2 °C for at least 3 min and not less than 10min taking care to have casein particles if any to dissolve fully, and centrifuge for 5 mins at 1100 rpm (approximately 300 g). 7. The tubes should be put in centrifuge, so as to conform to radial symmetry, and as evenly spaced as possible, in order to protect bearings of the centrifuge. 8. Allow the centrifuge to come to rest, remove the butyrometer tubes and place in water bath at 65+2 °C for atleast 3 min and not less than10 min. 9. Read the percentage of fat after adjusting the height in the tube as necessary by movements of the lock stopper with the key. 10. Note the scale reading corresponding to the lowest point of the fat meniscus and the surface of separation of the fat and acid. 11. When readings are being taken, hold the butyrometer with the graduated portion vertical, keep the point being read in level with the eye, and then read the butyrometer to the nearest half of the smallest scale division. In homogenised milk, fat separates with more difficulty and centrifuging more than once may be required. Below procedure should be followed for homogenized milk: i. In case of homogenized milk, obtain the second value of fat content by repeating centrifugation. If the second value does not exceed the first value by more than half a smallest scale division of the butyrometer, the second value shall be recorded as the fat content of the milk. If the second value exceeds the first value by more than half a smallest scale division, repeat the centrifugation and obtain a third value for the fat content. If the third value does not exceed the second value by more than half a smallest scale division, the third value shall be recorded as the fat content of the milk. If the third value exceeds the second value by more than half a smallest scale division, repeat the centrifugation and obtain fourth value for the fat content. The fourth value shall be recorded as the fat content of the milk, but if this value exceeds the third value by more than half a smallest scale division, it should be regarded as of doubtful accuracy. lf even after the several entrifuging’s, the fat is turbid or dark in colour or if there is white or black material at the bottom of the fat column the value for fat content would not be accurate. Holding the tubes too long at 65 °C or above, results in esterification of the amyl alcohol witha consequent increase in the volume of the fat layer. In case of old samples, if necessary, the concentration of sulphuric acid may be increased from 90-91% to 92-93% to felicitate better dissolution. Note: The butyrometer must always be emptied without delay and the highly acidic waste disposed of appropriately. The tubes may be cleaned with chromic acid. Annexure- Ill (Rose-Gottlieb Method) Determination of Fat Content in Milk By Rose-Gottlieb Method [FSSAI 01.024:2022] Scope This method is for the determination of fat in milk. Caution Follow all safety procedures while handling and disposing solutions. Wear laboratory apron, shoes, safety goggles and mask while working with chemicals. Perform work in fume hood while working with solvents. Refer to MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) for specific information. 1. Ammonia solution: Do not breathe vapour or mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. Although ammonia is not flammable, it may ignite and burn with explosive force. It reacts violently with halogens (such as fluorine, bromine, and chlorine), acids (such as hydrochloric acid, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen bromide). 2. Ethyl alcohol: Extremely flammable. Use effective fume removal device when heating or evaporating. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame; avoid breathing vapours. 3. Diethyl ether: Store protected from light. It is extremely flammable and can react explosively when in contact with Cl2, O3, LiIAIH4 or strong oxidizing agents. 4. Petroleum ether: Extremely flammable. Avoid breathing fumes. Perform all operations in a fume hood. Principle Rose-Gottlieb Method is a gravimetric method in which fat globule membrane of milk fat globules is ruptured by addition of ammonia to milk sample to liberate the fat. The liberated fat is extracted using combination of solvents viz., diethyl ether and petroleum ether. The solvents are evaporated and obtained fat is dried and weighed. This method is considered suitable for reference purposes. Strict adherence to details is essential in order to obtain reliable results. Apparatus/Instruments 1. Mojonnier fat extraction flask or any other suitable extraction tube (as per IS specification). 2. Cork or stopper of synthetic rubber unaffected by usual fat solvents. 3. 100 ml. flat bottom flask with G/G joint or stainless steel or aluminium dishes of 5.5 cm height and 9cm diameter or glass bowl. 4. Hot air oven (forced air type), capable of being controlled at 102+2 °C. Materials and reagents 1. Ammonia solution (Sp. Gr. 0.91). 2. Ethyl alcohol (95%). 3. Diethyl ether, peroxide-free. 4. Petroleum ether, boiling range 40-60 °C. Method of analysis 1. Weigh accurately about 10 g of sample (liquid milk) in beaker. 2. Add 1.25ml of ammonia sp. gr. 0.91 (or an equivalent volume of a more concentrated ammonia solution may be used), mix and shake thoroughly. 3. Transfer the content to extraction tubes. 4. Add 10 ml ethyl alcohol and mix again. 5. Add 25 ml of diethyl ether (peroxide free) stopper and shake vigorously for about amin 6. Then add 25 ml petroleum ether (boiling range 40-60 °C and shake again vigorously for about half a min. 7. Let it stand until the upper ethereal layer has separated completely and is clear (alternatively use low r.p.m. Mojonnier centrifuge). 8. If there is a tendency to form emulsion, a little alcohol may be added to help separation of the layers. 10. 4, 12), 13. 14. 15. Decant off the clear ethereal layer into a suitable vessel (flask, glass bowl, aluminium dish, etc.). Wash the delivery end of the extraction tube with a little ether and add the washings to the flask. Repeat twice extraction of the liquid remaining in the extraction tube using 15 ml of each solvent every time, add the ethereal extract to the same container and evaporate off completely. Dry the flask in an air oven at 102 + 2 °C for 2 h, cool ina desiccator and weigh. Heat the flask again in the oven for 30 min. Cool in a desiccator and weigh. Repeat the process of heating and cooling and weighing until the difference between two successive weights does not exceed 1 mg. Wash outthe fat from the flask with petroleum ether carefully leaving any insoluble residue in the flask. Dry the flask in the oven and reweigh. The difference in weights represents the weight of fat extracted from the milk. Correct weight of extracted fat by blank determination on reagents used. Difference between duplicate determinations obtained simultaneously by the same analyst should not be more than 0.07 g fat/100g product. Calculation with units of Expression Fat % (m/m) =(M1 - M2) - (M3 - M4). x100 WwW Where, M1 is the mass, in g, of the fat-collecting flask and extracted matter after drying M2 is the mass, in g, of the empty fat-collecting flask M3 is the mass, in g, of the fat-collecting flask used in the blank test after drying M4 is the mass, in g, of the empty fat-collecting flask used in the blank test w is the weight of the sample in g Annexure- IV (Lactometer method) Determination of SNF (Solids-not-Fat) in Milk by the Use of the Lactometer: Scope: This method prescribes the method for the determination of solids-not-fat in milk using the lactometer. Apparatus: The following apparatus are required for conducting the test: 1. Lactometer with lactometer Jar conforming to IS : 9585-1980* 2. Thermometer - conforming to IS: 9585-1980*. Method of Analysis: The specific gravity of milk will vary with the duration and temperature of storage. This variation may be overcome by ensuring that the fat is completely in the liquid state before the specific gravity reading is taken This IS achieved by pre-warming the milk. 1. Warm the sample of milk to a temperature of 40 to 45°C and maintain the sample within this range for five minutes during which time the contents of the bottle are adequately mixed. 2. Care shall be taken to avoid the formation of air bubbles or froth when mixing the sample. 3. The sample is then water cooled to 27 +2°C and held within this range until the specific gravity reading is taken. 4. The sample shall not be held for more than one hour. 5. The reading is then taken according to the following procedure. 1. The sample bottle is gently inverted two or three times. 2. The milk is then poured down the side of the lactometer jar so as to avoid the formation of air bubbles. 3. Sufficient milk shall be poured into the jar to ensure that some of it overflows when the lactometer is inserted. 4. The lactometer, held by the stem, IS inserted in the sample and released when it is approximately in its position of equilibrium thus avoiding wetting more than a very short length of the stem above the milk surface. 5. As soon as the lactometer is at rest, the scale reading corresponding to the top of the meniscus of the milk is noted. 6. The lactometer jar shall be vertical and the bulb of the lactometer shall not touch the side 7. It is advisable to repeat the reading after depressing the lactometer about 3 mm and allowing it to come to rest 8. Note the temperature of milk with the help of the thermometer. 9. Correct the observed lactometer readings at 27°C as per the fat percent ranges with the help of Table I. 10. The percent of solids-not-fat in milk is then calculated using the following formula: SNF = (CLR /4) + 0.25F + 0.44 Where, SNF =Solids-not-fat m milk, CLR = Corrected lactometer reading at 27°C, and F = Percent of fat content of milk {It may he noted that the lactometer estimation of solids-not-fat in milk is for routine purposes and is only an estimate nearer to the gravimetric method. All the correction factors suggested in the formula are based on a long time study at different laboratories and fall within the range of error associated with the method. This may not be considered as a very precise method for the estimation of solids-not-Fat in milk. For precise estimation gravimetric method may be adopted or the results may he compared with the gravimetric method}. Table |: Correction to be applied to lactometer readings taken at temperature other than 27°C to obtain corrected lactometer reading of milk at 27°C ANNEXURE -V Using Reference milk analyzer for determination of Fat and SNF The Milk Inspector at the time of verification/ inspection of Dairy shall follow the procedure laid down as follows: a. For the purpose of checking the Milk Analyzer used by Dairies, the Milk Inspector may follow control sample method or Reference milk analyzer carried by him. b. The Milk inspector shall carry the Reference Milk Analyzer supplied by the Government. c. The Milk Inspector at the place of inspection shall collect the samples from the producers and obtain the quality parameters like fat and SNF with the help of the Reference milk analyzer carried by him. 1. The Milk Inspector shall use the same sample for testing the milk analyzer used by the Dairies. 2. The Milk Inspector shall compare the results obtained from the Reference milk analyzer carried by him and the results obtained from the milk analyzer used by the Dairies. 3. If the results shown by the Milk Analyzer used by the Dairies vary by more than 0.2 when compared to the results obtained from the reference milk analyzer carried by the Milk Inspector shall be declared as non-standard milk analyzer and action shall be taken to register case for using a non-standard milk analyzer.
