Furthermore ashing is part of the sample preparation for the analysis of individual elements in the mineral content. Moisture is a critical parameter for shelf life time of food and ash gives information on the salt content.<\/h3>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Automation of the moisture and ash analysis brings efficiency, quality and security into the laboratory.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>1. Analysis of meat<\/h3>\n<p>The nutrient content of meat and meat products is determined with the following analysis and often calculated as packages by contract laboratories: Moisture, ash, total fat, total protein, carbohydrate (calculated) and kcal\/kJ calculated). Here the ash is a quality characteristic itself and is needed to calculate the carbohydrate. Carbohydrate = 100 % \u2013 moisture \u2013 ash \u2013 fat \u2013 protein<\/p>\n<h3>2. Analysis of milk<\/h3>\n<p>Fat and Proteins content are calculated on dry mass. Ash gives the totals mineral content of milk: Calcium and phosphorous are the major minerals found in milk. These minerals are required in large quantities by the rapidly growing neonate for bone growth and development of soft tissues. Calcium and phosphorous mostly are associated with the casein micelle structure. Milk also contains most other minerals found in the body.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Analysis of flour\/pasta<\/h3>\n<p>The determination of the ash content in flour serves to estimate the degree of the endosperm separation from the bran during milling, i.e. the grade of flour. The more refined the flour the less ash is produced. In pasta production the ash determination of flour is crucial. The grade of milling determines the properties of the flower and therefore the possible use: e.g. pasta or bread. The final analysis of pasta contains an ash determination too. This ash contains the minerals from the flower plus the salt given to the dough. Most food samples have to be dried at 105\u00b0C and ashed at 550\u00b0C (SLMB) until a stable weight is reached. Flour and some flour products are dried at 105\u00b0C or 130\u00b0C and ashed at 600\u00b0C or 900\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UFAG Laboratories AG<\/strong><br \/>\n(Contract laboratory) Sursee, Switzerland<br \/>\nAs the leading independent service<br \/>\nlaboratory in Switzerland, UFAG Laboratorien<br \/>\nAG offer integral analytical solutions for<br \/>\nthe food industry.<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.ufag-laboratorien.ch<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='av-social-sharing-box  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  av-social-sharing-box-minimal '><div class='av-share-box'><h5 class='av-share-link-description av-no-toc '>Share this<\/h5><ul class='av-share-box-list noLightbox'><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-facebook' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Facebook\" href='https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/ash-and-moisture-analysis-with-prepash-340-series-for-food-analysis\/&#038;t=Ash%20and%20moisture%20analysis%20with%20prepASH%20340%20Series%20for%20food%20analysis' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8f3' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Facebook' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-twitter' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Twitter\" href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Ash%20and%20moisture%20analysis%20with%20prepASH%20340%20Series%20for%20food%20analysis&#038;url=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/?p=9925' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8f1' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Twitter' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-whatsapp' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on WhatsApp\" href='https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/ash-and-moisture-analysis-with-prepash-340-series-for-food-analysis\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\uf232' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on WhatsApp' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on WhatsApp<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-linkedin' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on LinkedIn\" href='https:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;title=Ash%20and%20moisture%20analysis%20with%20prepASH%20340%20Series%20for%20food%20analysis&#038;url=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/ash-and-moisture-analysis-with-prepash-340-series-for-food-analysis\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8fc' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on LinkedIn' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-mail' ><a  aria-label=\"Share by Mail\" href='mailto:?subject=Ash%20and%20moisture%20analysis%20with%20prepASH%20340%20Series%20for%20food%20analysis&#038;body=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/ash-and-moisture-analysis-with-prepash-340-series-for-food-analysis\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share by Mail'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share by Mail<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  \" style='border-radius:0px;
