Question
Egg Yolk Walnut Mass of lipid source (g) 1.0105g 0.987g Volume of lipid extract (lower phase) (ml) 0.5ml 2ml Mass of empty crucible (g) 71.734g
| Egg Yolk | Walnut |
Mass of lipid source (g) | 1.0105g | 0.987g |
Volume of lipid extract (lower phase) (ml) | 0.5ml | 2ml |
Mass of empty crucible (g) | 71.734g | 64.22g |
Mass of crucible with dry total lipids (g) | 71.806g | 64.732g |
A) Which of the two sources contains more lipid in g/g (lipid source)?
B) Calculate the % cholesterol in the total lipid content Egg Yolk and Walnut samples. (Molecular weight of cholesterol = 386.66gmol-1) given 0.537 = 0.0674x + 0.1554 = 5.66 nM Conc. Of cholesterol in egg yolk
C) Do your answers coincide with literature values?
literature value ->LARGE EGG YOLK= 186mg cholesterol
If not, can you suggest a reason why.
