15.03.2020 Lenten dishes

The method is based on the separation of fat from milk under the action of concentrated sulfuric acid and isoamyl alcohol, followed by centrifugation and measurement of the volume of released fat in the graduated part of the butyrometer.

Measurements

In two milk butyrometers, trying not to moisten the neck, pour 10 cm 3 of sulfuric acid with a dispenser (density from 1810 to 1820 kg / m 3) and carefully so that the liquids do not mix, add 10.77 cm 3 of milk with a pipette, attaching the tip of the pipette to the butyrometer neck at an angle. The milk level in the pipette is set at the lowest point of the meniscus.

Milk should flow slowly from the pipette. After emptying, the pipette is removed from the throat of the butyrometer no earlier than 3 seconds later. Blowing milk out of the pipette is not allowed. 1 cm 3 of isoamyl alcohol (density from 811 to 813 kg / m 3) is added to the butyrometer with a dispenser, trying not to wet the butyrometer neck. The level of the mixture in the butyrometer is set 1-2 mm below the base of the butyrometer neck, for which it is allowed to add a few drops of distilled water if necessary.

The butyrometers are closed with dry plugs, leading them slightly more than half into the butyrometers neck. It is recommended to apply chalk to the surface of the butyrometers stoppers to ensure measurements are taken. The butyrometers are shaken until the protein substances are completely dissolved, turning at least 5 times so that the liquids in them are completely mixed.

Install the butyrometers with the stopper down for 5 minutes in a water bath at a temperature of 65 ± 2 o C. After removing from the bath, insert the butyrometers into the centrifuge beakers with the graduated part towards the center. Butyrometers are arranged symmetrically, one against the other. With an odd number of butyrometers, a butyrometer filled with water instead of milk, sulfuric acid and isoamyl alcohol in the same ratio as for the analysis is placed in the centrifuge

Butyrometers are centrifuged for 5 minutes. Each butyrometer is taken out of the centrifuge and the fat column is adjusted by moving the rubber stopper so that it is in the graduated part of the butyrometer. Butyrometers are immersed with stoppers down for 5 minutes in a water bath at a temperature of 65 ± 2 ° C, while the water level in the bath should be slightly higher than the fat level in the butyrometer.

The butyrometers are taken out one at a time from the water bath and quickly read the fat. When reading, the butyrometer is held vertically, the border of fat should be at eye level. By moving the plug, the lower limit of the fat column is set at zero or a whole division of the butyrometer scale. The number of divisions is counted from it to the lower point of the meniscus of the column of fat with an accuracy of the smallest division of the butyrometer scale. The interface between the fat and the mixture in the butyrometer should be sharp and the fat column should be transparent.

If there is a "ring" (plug) of brownish or dark yellow color, various impurities in the fat column or a blurred lower boundary, the measurement is repeated.

In raw cow's milk, according to the Federal Law "Technical Regulations for Milk and Dairy Products", the mass fraction of fat should be in the range of 2.8-6.0%. The basic rate of fat mass fraction is 3.4%.

The mass fraction of fat in milk is determined after the destruction of the protective shells of the fat globules (Gerber acid method, Rose-Gottlieb extraction method) or without methods using semi-automatic and automatic devices.

The acidic method is considered the standard method and is still widely used in our country and in a number of other countries due to its accuracy, relative simplicity and availability.

Principle of the method: The method is based on the release and separation of fat from fat globules of a milk sample under the action of concentrated sulfuric acid and isoamyl alcohol, followed by its centrifugation.

The introduction of sulfuric acid into the butyrometer not only destroys the protein shells of the fat globules, but also acts on the main protein, calcium caseinate, which falls into flakes and dissolves in excess acid. The reaction is accompanied by an increase in the temperature of the mixture to 70-75 * C.

When isoamyl alcohol is added, it reacts with an acid to form isoamyl sulfuric ester, which spreads in excess of an acidic solution and lowers the surface tension at the interface between fat and milk plasma and promotes fat release.

Heating and subsequent centrifugation of the content of the butyrometer results in complete isolation and consolidation of fat into a continuous layer, the amount of which is measured on the butyrometer scale.

Instruments: devices for automatic metering of sulfuric acid and isoamyl alcohol for 10 and 1 ml, stand for butyrometers, butyrometer for milk with measuring ranges from 0 to 6% or from 0 to 7%, rubber stoppers for butyrometers, pipettes for 10.77 ml , water bath, centrifuge.

Materials for research and reagents: raw milk, sulfuric acid with a density of 1.81-1.82 g / cm 3, isoamyl alcohol 0.811-0.813 g / cm 3.

Analysis progress: clean tested butyrometers are placed in a rack, and 10 ml of sulfuric acid is poured into one of them using an automatic pipette, taking care not to lubricate the neck of the butyrometer. Then, 10.77 ml of the test milk is measured with a pipette, by attaching the tip of the pipette to the inner wall of the butyrometer neck at an angle, let the milk slowly flow down the butyrometer wall so that it does not mix with sulfuric acid, and liquids are layered. The part of the milk remaining in the tip of the pipette should not be blown out, since the volume of the pipette is designed for the free flow of liquid. Then, 1 ml of isoamyl alcohol is poured into the butyrometer using an automatic pipette, avoiding wetting the neck of the butyrometer. Then the butyrometer is closed with a special rubber stopper and turned over 3-4 times to mix liquids, after placing the butyrometer in the cartridge and wrapping it with a napkin, then shake until the proteins are completely dissolved. The butyrometer is placed with a stopper down in a water bath with a temperature of 63-67 * C and kept for 5 minutes. Then they take it out, wipe it and put it in the centrifuge cartridge, the butyrometers are set in a seven-digit and even number, if an odd number, the butyrometer is set with water. The centrifuge is closed with a lid and turned on for 5 minutes. Then the butyrometer is taken out of the centrifuge and placed with the stopper down in a water bath at a temperature of 63-67 * C for 5 minutes. The water level in the water bath must be higher than the liquid in the butyrometer. The butyrometer is removed from the bath, wiped off and quickly read off the scale. To do this, holding the butyrometer vertically at eye level, by moving the plug up and down, set the lower border of the fat column on any whole division and count the number of divisions to the lower point of the meniscus of the fat column. If the fat column does not abruptly separate from the rest of the liquid, the butyrometer must be shaken, placed in a bath with a temperature of 63-67 * C for 5 minutes. Centrifuge and put in the bath again, read the fat content.

Acid method for determining ppm has significant disadvantages: the duration of the definition. The use of expensive reagents, an increased danger for maintenance personnel, the inability to control the fat content of the product in the flow, etc.

The semi-automatic and automatic butyrometers developed in recent years are free from these disadvantages. Their action is based on measuring the degree of light scattering by fat globules or the intensity of their fluorescence, as well as measuring the speed of propagation of ultrasound in milk, the degree of absorption of infrared radiation by milk components, etc.

10 ml of sulfuric acid (density 1.81-1.82) is poured into a pure milk butyrometer, without wetting the neck, and carefully so that the liquids do not mix, add 10.77 ml of milk with a pipette, attaching its tip to the wall of the neck of the butyrometer at an angle ( the milk level in the pipette is set at the lower meniscus level). Blowing out the mast from the pipette is not allowed. Then, 1 ml of isoamyl alcohol (density 0.810-0.813) is added to the butyrometer.

The butyrometer is closed with a dry rubber stopper, inserting it slightly more than

in half, in the neck, turn over 4-5 times until the protein substances are completely dissolved and uniform mixing, after which they are placed with a stopper down for 5 minutes in a water bath with a temperature of 65 + -2 degrees C. Having taken out from the bath, the butyrometers are inserted into the cartridges (glasses) of the centrifuge with the working part towards the center, placing them symmetrically against each other. With an odd number of butyrometers, a butyrometer filled with water is placed in the centrifuge. After closing the centrifuge lid, the butyrometers are centrifuged for 5 minutes at a speed of at least 1000 rpm. Then each butyrometer is removed from the centrifuge and rubber-

howling plugs adjust the fat column in the butyrometer so that it is in the tube with a scale. Then the butyrometers are re-immersed with their plugs down in a water bath at a temperature of 65+ - 2 ° C. After 5 minutes, the butyrometers are removed from the water bath and the fat is quickly counted. For this, the butyrometer is held vertically with the fat border at eye level. By moving the plug up and down, set the lower limit of the fat column on the whole division of the butyrometer scale and from it the number of divisions is counted to the lower level of the meniscus of the fat column. The interface between fat and acid should be sharp, and the fat column should be transparent.

If there is a ring (plug) of brownish or dark yellow color, as well as various impurities in the fat column, the analysis is repeated.

The butyrometer reading corresponds to the percentage of fat in the milk.

The volume of 10 small scale divisions on the milk butyrometer corresponds to 1% fat in the product. The fat count is carried out with an accuracy of one small division of the butyrometer. The discrepancy between parallel determinations should not exceed 0.1% fat.

The arithmetic mean of two parallel determinations is taken as the final result.

Determination of protein content in milk

10 ml of milk, 10-12 drops of a 1% alcoholic solution of phenolphthalein are poured into a flask, and 0.1 N HCI is added dropwise. sodium hydroxide solution until a pale pink color appears, which does not disappear when shaken. Then add 2 ml of neutral (phenolphthalein) formalin and titrate with 0.1 N. sodium hydroxide solution until a pale pink color appears, which does not disappear within a minute. The amount of alkali used for titration after the addition of formalin is multiplied by a factor of 1.92 and the total protein content in milk is obtained, and by multiplying by a factor of 1.51, the casein content (in%) is determined.

Determination of bacterial contamination of milk

(reductase test)

Bacteriological examination of milk. For bacteriological research

using an accelerated test for reductase, take 10 ml of milk, heat it in a water bath to 38-40 ° C and add 1 ml of a working solution of methylene blue. The tubes are closed with sterile rubber stoppers, mixed thoroughly and placed again in a water bath at a temperature of 38-40 ° C (the water level in the bath must be higher than the level of the contents of the tube).

At the time of the onset of milk discoloration, the bacterial

contamination and class of milk according to the table.

For control, put the same sample of milk in a test tube, but without adding

methylene blue, which is viewed 10 minutes and 1 hour after sample setting.

Note. To prepare a saturated alcoholic solution of methylene blue, take 10 g and mix with 100 ml of 96% ethyl alcohol.

The solution is placed in a thermostat at 37 0 C for 24 hours, then filtered.

To prepare a working solution of methylene blue, take 5 ml of saturated

an alcoholic solution of methylene blue + 195 ml of distilled water, and then this solution is diluted 10 times, i.e. 1 ml of a 2.5% solution + 9 ml of distilled water. The solution must be prepared prior to sampling.

Milk test for brucellosis

In the study of milk with a ring test for brucellosis, 1 ml of milk and 1 drop of colored brucellosis antigen (a suspension of brucellosis stained with hematoxylin) are poured into a test tube with a diameter of 5 - 8 mm and placed in a thermostat at 37 degrees. C for 40 - 45 minutes. A positive reaction is characterized by the appearance of a blue ring in the upper layer of the liquid, with a dubious reaction, a weakly colored bluish ring, and with a negative one, no changes occur.

MILK FALSIFICATION AND METHODS OF ITS DETECTION

Control of milk pasteurization

Peroxidase test:

5 ml of pasteurized milk is poured into a test tube, 5 drops of starch solution KCl and 5 drops of 0.5% solution of hydrogen peroxide are added. The contents are mixed. If the color of the contents of the tube has not changed, then the milk is pasteurized correctly. A blue staining of the contents of the test tube indicates that the milk is not pasteurized or raw milk has been added to the correctly pasteurized milk.

Lactoalbumin test:

Used to establish pasteurization at temperatures above 80 ° C.

In a flask, mix 5 ml of pasteurized milk and 20 ml of water, add 3 ml of 0.1 N solution of sulfuric acid to precipitate casein and filter. 5 ml of filtrate is added to a test tube and boiled. If milk is pasteurized at 80 ° C, then when it is boiled, albumin flakes are not formed, and when the filtrate is cooled, there will be no sediment.

2.2.1.4. Having taken out from the bath, the butyrometers are inserted into the centrifuge beakers with the graduated part towards the center. Butyrometers are arranged symmetrically, one against the other. With an odd number of butyrometers, a butyrometer filled with water instead of milk, sulfuric acid and isoamyl alcohol in the same ratio as for the analysis is placed in the centrifuge.

Butyrometers are centrifuged for 5 minutes. Each butyrometer is taken out of the centrifuge and the fat column is adjusted by moving the rubber stopper so that it is in the graduated part of the butyrometer.

2.2.1.5. Butyrometers are immersed with stoppers down for 5 minutes in a water bath at a temperature of (65 ± 2) ° С, while the water level in the bath should be slightly higher than the fat level in the butyrometer.

4.2. Test preparation

4.2.1. The selected cheese sample is crushed, placed in a porcelain mortar and mixed thoroughly.

4.2.2. Dry the flask in an oven (or vacuum drying) for (45 ± 15) min, after placing a small amount of glass beads or pieces of porcelain or pieces of carborundum in it. The flask is then cooled in a desiccator and weighed to 0.0001 g.

4.2.3. Immediately before use, prepare a mixed solvent from equal volumes of diethyl and petroleum ethers.

4.3. Testing

4.3.1. About 2 g of the crushed cheese sample is placed in a weighing bottle or on a watch glass, weighed up to 0.0001 g and transferred to a dry flat-bottomed flask or extraction flask.

A sample of cheese for testing is allowed to be weighed on cellulose film, which is then folded up and placed in a flask together with the sample of cheese.

4.3.2. Pour (9 ± 1) cm3 of hydrochloric acid into the flask with the test sample and keep it in a boiling water bath with constant shaking until the cheese is completely dissolved. After that, the flask is kept in a boiling water bath for 20 min and cooled to a temperature of (20 ± 2) ° С in cold tap water.

4.3.3. If the processing of cheese with hydrochloric acid is carried out in an extraction flask, then 10 cm3 of ethyl alcohol is poured into it and carefully mixed.

If the processing of cheese with hydrochloric acid was carried out in a flat-bottomed flask, then the sample treated with hydrochloric acid is transferred to an extraction flask, rinsing the original container successively with 10 cm3 of ethyl alcohol, 25 cm3 of diethyl ether and 25 cm3 of petroleum ether, collecting the washing liquid in the extraction flask.

After adding 25 cm3 of diethyl ether, the extraction flask is closed with a ground stopper, shaken vigorously with constant inversion for 1 min. Then carefully remove the stopper and add 25 cm3 of petroleum ether to the flask, using the first 5-10 cm3 to rinse the stopper and the inside of the neck of the flask. Then close the flask with a ground stopper and shake with constant inversion for 30 s.

4.3.4. Leave the flask alone until the upper liquid layer is clean and clearly separated from the lower layer. If a clear separation of the layers is not achieved, the liquid is centrifuged using an extraction flask.

4.3.5. Remove the stopper, rinse it and the inner surface of the neck of the flask with 5-10 cm3 of mixed solvent so that it flows into the flask. Thereafter, the top layer is carefully transferred by decantation or by means of a siphon tube into a flat-bottomed flask prepared in 4.2.2.

If the top layer is transferred by decantation, a small amount of water can be added to improve the separation of the layers.

Rinse the outer and inner surfaces of the neck of the flask or the tip and bottom of the siphon tube with 5-10 cm3 of mixed solvent, while the solvent from the outside of the neck of the extraction flask should drain into the flat-bottomed flask, and from the inside into the extraction flask.

4.3.6. A second extraction is carried out by repeating the operations described above and while adding 15 cm3 of diethyl and petroleum ethers.

4.3.7. The third extraction is performed in the same way as the second, only without rinsing the flask. The maximum amount of solvents is carefully evaporated or gradually distilled off from the flat-bottom flask, as the diethyl and petroleum ethers are removed, increasing the temperature of the water bath from (30 ± 2) to (60 ± 2) ° C.

4.3.8. After the disappearance of the odors of solvents, the flask is heated by placing it for 1 hour in an oven (or vacuum drying). Then cool in a desiccator to a temperature of (20 ± 2) ° С and weigh up to 0.0001 g.

Subsequent weighing of the flask is carried out after drying for 30 - 60 minutes until the difference in mass between successive weighings is not more than 0.001 g. In the case of an increase in the mass of the flask with its contents after repeated drying, the result of the previous weighing is taken for calculation.

4.3.9. To check the completeness of the dissolution of the extracted fraction, (20 ± 5) ml of petroleum ether is added to the flask, while the flask is gradually heated to a temperature not exceeding 60 ° C with constant stirring of the contents of the flask in a circular motion until the fat is completely dissolved.

If the extracted fraction does not completely dissolve in petroleum ether, then the content of insoluble sediment is determined after removing the fat with warm petroleum ether. The ether treatment is repeated at least three times. Before each decantation, the insoluble residue is allowed to settle to the bottom. After complete removal of fat, the flask with the insoluble residue is heated in a water bath, gradually increasing its temperature from 30 to 60 ° C in order to completely remove petroleum ether. After the smell of petroleum ether disappears, the flask with the undissolved residue is dried in an oven (or vacuum drying) for 1 h, cooled to a temperature of (20 ± 2) ° С and weighed with a countdown to 0.0001 g.

4.3.10. Simultaneously with the determination of the mass fraction of fat, a control experiment is carried out with 10 cm3 of distilled water.

If the mass of the dry residue in the flask after drying exceeds 0.0005 g, then the reagents should be checked for purity or replaced.

4.4. Processing of results

4.4.1. The mass fraction of fat,%, in rennet or processed cheese and cheese product is calculated by the formula

4.4.2. The margin of error of the method at a confidence level of 0.95 is 0.2%.

Method for determining the mass fraction of fat. (GOST 5867-90)

In a clean milk butyrometer, trying not to moisten the neck, pour 10 sulfuric acid (density 1.81 - 1.82) and carefully so that the liquids do not mix, add 10.77 milk with a pipette, attaching the pipette tip at an angle to the wall of the neck of the butyrometer (level milk in a pipette is set at the lower point of the meniscus); milk from the pipette should flow slowly; after emptying, the pipette is removed from the neck of the butyrometer no earlier than 3 seconds later. Blowing milk out of the pipette is not allowed. Then 1 isoamyl alcohol is added to the butyrometer. The butyrometer is closed with a dry stopper, lowering the stopper down for 5 minutes in a water bath with a temperature of 652. After removing from the bath, the butyrometers are installed in the centrifuge cartridges (glasses) with the working part towards the center, placing them symmetrically, one against the other. If the number of butyrometers is odd, a butyrometer filled with water is placed in the centrifuge. After closing the centrifuge lid, the butyrometers are centrifuged for 5 min at a speed of at least 1000. Then the butyrometer is taken out of the centrifuge and by moving the rubber stopper the fat column in the butyrometer is adjusted so that it is in the tube with the scale. Butyrometers are immersed with stoppers down in a water bath. The water level should be slightly above the level in the butyrometer. The temperature of the water in the bath should be 652. After 5 minutes, the butyrometers are removed from the water bath and the fat is quickly counted. When reading the butyrometer, hold it vertically, the fat boundary should be at the gas level. By moving the plug up and down, the lower limit of the fat column is set on the whole division of the butyrometer scale and the number of divisions is counted from it to the lower point of the meniscus of the fat column. The fat interface should be sharp and the fat column should be transparent. If there is a ring (plug) of brownish or dark yellow color, as well as various impurities in the fat column, the analysis is repeated.
