ETHOS X microwave extraction system for fat determination
The process of fat determination in food and feed matrices is a routine analysis still relies on outdated and matrix-dependent methods which use obsolete and time-consuming technologies. The ETHOS X offers a new approach to gravimetric fat determination, moving toward a more modern, greener and more efficient approach to total fat, Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) and free fat determinations in food and feed matrices.

Total fat determination in food and feed matrices is a routine analysis for several testing and food processor labs, as it is part of labelling process and QC testing. Nowadays, the process still relies on outdated and matrix-dependent methods which use obsolete and time-consuming technologies.
In the ETHOS X hydrolysis and extraction are done in a single step and in less time, ensuring higher productivity and better workflow. The ETHOS X method for total fat determination is applicable to any matrix; enables to process 45 sample a day, ensure lower cost per sample, offers complete fat determination and it is safe and compact.
Benefits:
- Applicable to any matrix
- 45 samples a day
- Lower cost per sample
- Complete fat determination
- Safe and compact
Innovative method of microwave assisted extraction of MOSH and MOAH in food
In recent years, the assessment and quantification of the presence of mineral oil hydrocarbons, both aliphatic (MOSH) and aromatic (MOAH), has become a growing requirement for food quality control laboratories around the world. In this application note, explore how Milestone has developed a simple, accurate and faster method to perform the saponification in the sample preparation of contaminated food samples. Discover how the evaluation of MOSH and MOAH content was performed on different food matrices ranging from cereal products to fish and vegetable oils.
A high-throughput method for fatty acid profiling using simultaneous microwave-assisted extraction and derivatization
In this application note, Milestone presents experimental data on the extraction and simultaneous derivatization of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) in several food samples using the ETHOS™ X with SR-15 eT rotor. The composition of fatty acids in food products is a crucial parameter for evaluating their quality. Microwave-assisted solvent extraction offers an efficient and competitive solution for sample preparation.
Total fat determination in food and feed samples
The determination of total fat content in food and feed samples is a common task for food industry quality control labs and for third party contract labs. In this application note, Milestone demonstrates how the ETHOS X can be used for total fat determination in any food matrix by simultaneous hydrolysis and extraction.
Improved workflow & productivity with ETHOS X for fat determination
In QC and food testing laboratories a single method approach and high throughput are valuable factors in order to streamline the lab workflow. The ETHOS X method is not matrix dependent, therefore, it uses a single method and setup for virtually any sample and total fat contents. Watch this video to find out more.
