ECM
estimated average requirement
connentration of nutrient to satisfy 50% of the population
recommended dietary allowance
concentration of nutirent required to satisfy the needs of the 97.5% of the population
hypoatremia
metabloic condition in whcih there is not enough sodium in extracellular fluid
proximate analysis - moisture
weight food sample then dry at 105 degrees or freeze dry,
% dry matter = dry/wet x100
errors: over estimates moisture, drying method removes volatile compounds
proximate analysis - crude fat
extract with ether, analyze with gas chromotography
% crude fat= weight of fat/ wet or dry weight x100%
errors: poor extraction of P.L unwanted extraction of cholophyl, carotenoids and waxes
proximate analysis - mineral content
ignite residue,
% ash = weight of ash/ wet or dry weight
errors: loss of volatile minerals (iron, copper, zinc), no info about individual minerals
proximate analysis- crude protien
kjeldal analysis 1. digestion by sulferic acid into N and amonia 2. distilliation - separating the amonia 3. tiration - quantify the amonia with standard
% crude protein = N in smaple x conversion factor/ wet or dry weight x100%
100% protein/ % N = conversion factor
