Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- Determination of Ash is one of the important proximate analysis for food, feed, vegetable and many other samples. It represents a part of quality of a sample. This method removes all kind of organic matters from a sample which may interfere in other chemical analysis, for example: analysis of heavy metals, minerals.
Moreover, this video represents a complete procedure for determination of Ash from a food sample which will be very helpful for a laboratory analyst.

Hello, please can you download the method for this experiment in writing
If you need the soft copy of this method, I can provide you. Please knock to our facebook page.
@@MicroChemsExperiments ok 😇
I'm getting confuse, makeing ash 2 hrs or 4 hrs . kindly explain me
Ashing is done for 2 hour at 700 degree Celsius. But if you burn the sample at lower than 700 degree Celsius then you need 4 hours of burning.
Thank you sir
You are most welcome.
Awesome video! Question, I understand combustion reduces food to inorganic mineral ash. I’m confused, if the body uses minerals however the minerals become inorganic after digestion, how is it assimilated?
Spinoza Black, thanks for your question.
Inside a human body, digestive juice creates acidic condition in the stomach to digest you food to convert it into difderent micronutrients and thus releasing minerals. These are further absorbed into the blood vessels.
hello sir, what is the alternative way of testing ash content of briquettes without the use of muffle furnace?

I want to measure the ash content in plastic granules, but I have porcelain crucible without a lid. Is it fine if I use these or I have to purchase new ones?
Mia, In case of plastic granules you can use crucible without lid to determine the ash content as plastic content won't loss during incineration. But in this case, large size of crucible is more preferable to use to avoid sample loss.
Thank you very much for the immediate response! Also, very helpful video!
Mia, you are most welcome. Be with us.
Thank for the nice video. I have some questions. My samples are not turning to grey color. I keep it 48 h is the muffle (600 oC) but it still has a light green and reddish color. The ash content is about 30 %. I think it may be too high. My samples are the herb extracts with different concentration of ethanol. I don't know what wrong with my sample or procedure. Hopefully, you see my comment and kindly give me some advice.
Keep burning for 5 hours. Few samples are remained green and reddish after ashing. Just ensure that the black color is removed completely.
This is actually good but try to provide theoretical knowledge behind the experiments...
Great idea
Interesting. This was informative. I have a question, hope you see this and reply. So what if I want to get the ash content from meat e.g beef? Do I blend it to homogenize? If I place in in a furnace, would it burnnnnnn, like burn burn that it sticks to the inside wall of that bowl?
Crucible *. Not bowl
@@tjakielo2968 You need to blend the beef sample first. Then take 2g sample for testing and follow this video strictly. You will find the ash content after the burning.
@@MicroChemsExperiments oh Thank you
@@tjakielo2968 You are welcome
Is there any problem if don't use crucible cap? I mean putting the crucible in muffle furnace without cap ?
It is better to use cap.
I have a doubt regarding the closing of the crucible while heating. If the lid is closed will burning or combustion takes place properly? I think it has to be heated with the lid open.
No. The crucible must keep open while heating, according to AOAC method. When you will apply heat at above 550 degree Celsius, the sample will burn out, no matter the crucible is open or close. Crucible is kept closed to avoid loss of ash during burning.
@@MicroChemsExperiments thankyou..❤️
@@surajvvv121 Its pleasure
what exactly is the homogenous sample that you add in after heated crucible, may i know if the crucible is heated without any sample in it if thats the case then the sample is soil right
We used tea sample for testing in this video
Why didn't you burn crucible in preparation of crucible .doesn't it change in weight of crucible if it burns before adding sample?
You are right. Crucible should be burnt and cooled before taking sample in it. But we just dried in oven. Both can be done but burning is more appropriate.
Do we need to make our Sample dry at 105°C for 1 hour before the ash determination?
No need. But you can incinerate your sample above 150 degree Celsius for 2 hour after taking sample weight and before going for the ashing into furnace
we are performing ash test of honey sample so the standard valves of ash in honey is not more than 0.6 ,,,,i ask you that is ash percentage is depend upon the food sample?? is moisture is more supose 40 then what to do
Jalal Shah, Thank you fot your comment.
Ash% totally depends on the minerals & heavy metals content present in your honey sample. So high content of heavy metals & minerals means high Ash percent.
You can reduce Moisture from your sample by increasing the density of your sample. This can be accomplished by drying the sample at elevated temperature.
its very nice ; l have one quations if you are willingness …how to know water absorption capacity for pasta dough by farinograph is possible or not…if you have a link please share it
I don't have any link
sir i have a doubt , how can it be that the weight of the crucilble after heating was increased which should have been decreased because moisture and co2 would have been lost from it till now . plz clear my this doubt
Weight of crucible increased because we are subtracting empty crucible weight from crucible containing sample which is ashed.So after heating there will be ash+crucible weight
is this methods specified for animal feed ash detection?
can we use this methods for spice also ?
Yes. You can
Am not asking how to measure moisture content but I want to know before carrying out an ash analysis the sample may be high moisture so how it dried to prevent spattering during washing?
I mean ashing process
I got your point. Dry 10g of your sample in hot air oven at the same condition as described in Moisture content determination video and cool in desiccator. Then analyse the dried & cooled sample for ash.
Would it be a problem when i place the crucible inside the furnace without covering it, as in my lab the crucibles do not have lids. Please assist
It is better to use lid to avoid the loss but you can carry out the analysis without using it
sir do we grind the sample in powder form before performing the experiment?
Yes

@@MicroChemsExperiments ok thank u so much
to determine the ash content of spice powders and wheat flour, semolina is it necessary to do charring or can we directly put the crucible inside the muffle furnace without doing charring?....please help!
Charring is better because it facilitate to become your sample carbon free very fast. You can analyze without charring and there will be no problm in your test result. But make sure that you sample becomes carbon free completely and no black particles is seen in the ash.
@@MicroChemsExperiments thank you for the response!... so after charring we need to immediately place it inside muffle furnace and not in dessicator? . Can we place it without the lid ?
@@poogylama1737 After charring, place the crucible inside the furnace immediately. Lid of crucible should be used to avoid loss of the ash content while burning inside the furnace.
Desiccator is used when ashing is done until taking the final weight.

hello ,The video is very useful and how can i get the standard of ash test (AOAC 942 .05) i want to do ash test for chocolates , can i follow the same step in the video and crucible is with out lid can i use it? how many hours will take the furnace reach to 250 deg.c thank you.
waiting for your reply.
We could not provide Ash test documents. Plz follow this video for Ash test of chocolate. Crucible with lid is better than the crucible without lid. But you can use crucible without lid. An Ideal furnace will take only 2 min to reach 250 degree Celsius.
@@MicroChemsExperiments thank you for the reply one more question what is ideal cm need for metal tong ? 25 cm is ok ?
Can you share the link for buying those heat resistant gloves

Why u r not using H2SO4 what use on it ?
This is only Ash determination. So we dont need to use H2SO4 in this test.
If you looking for Acid Insoluble Ash test, please find from our video list.
What is the factor for other grains like for maize, sorghum, etc ❓
What factor are you talking about? Please clarify
Hello sir, is the weight of the crucible have a constant value?
When you will dry a crucible enough, you will get a constant weight of that crucible.
This is very helpful, but also I would like to see a video on how to do analysis of yeast and mold in solid foods.. thanks

Is the same method applicable for feedstocks of biodiesel?
Yup
Hi there! Sorry, which edition of AOAC is this method from?
AOAC 19th Edition
is it applicable to honey?
I did but honey ash turned to black color.is it right?
This is applicable for honey but the ash should not be in black colour. Burn again after adding 5 ml ethanol
Please can you review your formula again because I think there's a mistake.Ash% is weight of ash÷ weight of sample ×100(w3-w1÷w2-w1 ×100)
I stand to be corrected though
I will check
Hi there! If I want to analyse ash in liquid sample (milk), does this method applicable? Or is there any other suitable method? Thank you!
This method is applicable for liquid sample but one more step should be followed.
First of all, take your milk sample in the crucible and place on hot plate. Then heat the sample to dry it. After drying, follow the burning steps in furnace as described in this video.
@@MicroChemsExperiments Alright, thank you!
@@amninazifa5244 Welcome
i have a question, hope you'll answer hihi. what's the objectives of this experiment?
Thank you dear for asking...
Ans: Total ash means total minerals. Ash content of any sample indicates the heavy metals and minerals content of that sample. During incineration in Ashing process, all of the compounds & elements are removed and become weigh-less except heavy metals and minerals.
Amount of heavy metals and minerals indicates the quality of any sample.
What is diff. between ROI and sulphated ash?
Take help from Google. Thanks

How can I test a plant to see if it's an acid or a base
use pH meter
Do we need a mositure free sample for ash content?
It is not necessary to make a sample free from moisture before ash analysis. Moisture indicates a quality of sample. So analyze your raw sample for ash content determination.
