Q

extraction of avocado oil procedure

A
  1. Mix 25 grams of avocado puree with 25 ml in a 150 mL beaker. Dispense 5.0 ml mixture into the 6 centrifuge tubes. Centrifuged at 6,000 rpm and for 20 minutes.
  2. Pipette out the oil into a 2 ml Eppendorf tubes and record the weight/volume (g/ml).
  3. The oil will appear as separate layer on top within the Eppendorf tube.
  4. Compute for the proportion of extracted water and oil mixture (relative to the initial 5 ml prior to centrifugation).

Q

paper spot test procedures

A
  1. Rub a bit of sample on a piece of paper.
  2. If the spot on the paper assumes a translucent appearance, that means the sample under test is a fat or oil, i.e., a lipid.

Q

emulsification test procedure

A
  1. Take 5 ml of distilled water, add a few drops of emulsifier (bile salt) and the same amount of sample in a test tube.
  2. Shake well to mix the contents.
  3. The lipid is dispersed forming an emulsion in the form of micelles, i.e., fats, which are broken up into minute droplets in water. (This is brought about as a result of the lowering of the surface tension between fat and water. The bile salts or other substances that bring about emulsification are referred to as emulsifiers.)

sudan IV test procedure

A

  2. Shake the tube so that the mixture is converted into an emulsion.
  3. Place a small drop of this emulsion on a micro slide and add to it a little bit Sudan IV stain, mix and put a cover glass.
  4. Examine under a microscope and note that only oily droplets are stained, this happens, because the stain is very specific for lipids.

bromine test for unsaturation/saturation procedure

A
  1. Take a few ml of ethanol in a test tube and add a few drops of sample to it.
  2. To this add a few drops of 0.4% bromine water drop by drop. (An orange color is developed.) The intensity of the color developed corresponds to the degree of unsaturation. If the same test is performed with acetic acid, no color will be developed, as it is a saturated acid.
