ABSTRACT:
Apparatuses and processes are described for the automatic determinations of fat contents of foods, such as dairy products, e.g., milk, wherein automatic density and solids content determining apparatuses are employed, together with a computer, to determine the fat contents of food samples being tested. The density determining apparatus is preferably one which is electromagnetically excited to vibrate at its natural resonant frequency, so that from the change in such frequency, compared to a control, the mass of the sample may be determined. The means for measuring the solids content is preferably an automatic volatility computer in which electromagnetic radiation (microwave energy) is employed to drive off the volatile material (usually mostly water) in the sample, which is automatically weighed before and after such volatilization. Preferably, a microcomputer in the automatic volatility computer is employed to compute fat content from electronic feeds to it from the density and the solids content determining apparatuses.
By use of the described apparatuses and processes rapid determinations of fat contents of materials may be made, facilitating modifications of production procedures to provide products of desired fat content, thereby preventing the production of off-specification materials and avoiding producing over-specification products which might otherwise be manufactured to avoid non-compliance with requirements for minimum fat contents of products.
