The FatExtractor E-500 enables users to easily adapt their fat extraction system to changing needs thanks to interchangeable glass assemblies. The instrument offers extraction methods according to Soxhlet, Randall or Twisselmann.
Additional benefits of the FatExtractor include:
- Reduced cycle times thanks to high-end components such as optical sensors, powerful heating and high quality glass assembly
- Automated Soxhlet process that is much faster than traditional glassware assemblies
- Faster time-to-result with unprecedented daily sample throughput
- Convenient exchange of glass assemblies that are compliant with Soxhlet, Randall (HE) and Twisselmann (ECE)
- Flexibly meets different needs and changing demands, as unit is not limited to one extraction method
- Unparalled speed in extraction and lowest solvent consumption of HE
Streamline food analysis: Using reference methods for NIR calibration
Food manufacturers must meet stringent regulatory and legal declaration requirements to remain competitive and ensure regulatory compliance. Proximate analysis has become the contemporary method for quantifying macronutrients in food and pet food, while also providing referenced methods for effective calibration of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy techniques, which can streamline workflows considerably and reduce costs.
In this free expert guide, explore a variety of technology solutions for the effective analysis of macronutrients to ensure that food and pet food products remain compliant.

Crude and total fat determination in a feed sample by Soxhlet extraction
In this application note, BUCHI introduces a simple and reliable procedure for the fat determination in feed products. The directive includes both direct extraction (crude fat) and extraction after acid hydrolysis (total fat) using the HydrolEx H-506 and the FatExtractor E-500.
Fat determination in bakery products and chocolate
In this application note, BUCHI introduces a simple and reliable procedure for fat determination of bakery and chocolate products according to Weibull-Stoldt. Here, the HydrolEx H-506 is used to hydrolyze the sample and the FatExtractor E-500 is used to perform the Soxhlet extraction.
Five essentials of fat extraction
The determination of fat in different dairy products using the HydrolEx H-506 and the FatExtractor E-500 provides reliable and reproducible results. These results correspond well to the labelled values, with low relative standard deviations.
Guidebook to proximate analysis
A method for the quantitative analysis of the different macronutrients in food stuff is called proximate analysis. Nutritional analysis began in 1861 and since then it has have been continuously developed, modified and improved. The analysis uses combination of techniques to determine protein, fat, moisture, ash and carbohydrates that are well documented due to the need for legal declaration requirements.
