Group1 members Nguyen Le Quynh Nhu, Dam Ngoc Tram, and Bui Nguyen Minh Chau are assigned tasks for prelab work and participation in Labs 5 and 6. For Lab 5 on determining total carbohydrates in food, Nhu will prepare standard curve tubes and read absorbances, Chau will add distilled water and transfer samples to cuvettes, and Tram will record caloric contents and add phenol and sulfuric acid to tubes. For Lab 6 on determining crude dietary fiber, tasks are divided among the members for sample preparation, boiling, washing, drying, weighing crucibles, and recording data.

LAB 5 – Determination Of Total Carbohydrate In Foods
Prepare standard curve tubes:
- Adding glucose standard solution (as a table): Nhu - Adding distilled water (as a table): Chau - Record caloric content from labels: Tram Prepare sample tubes: - Dilute sample tubes as 1:2000 dilution + pipette 1.0ml sample and 1.0 of distilled water into test tube: Nhu - Adding 0.05ml 80% Phenol and 5.0ml H2so4 each tube (in a hood): Tram - Transfer sample from test tubes into cuvettes: Chau - Read absorbance of all: Nhu
LAB 6 – Determination Of Crude Dietary Fiber In Foods
- Prepare sample: Chau
- Heat sample in oven → Cool in desicator → Pre-heat sulfuric: Tran - Weigh 1g sample & 1g filter aid → Record: Nhu - Add 150ml pre-heated H2SO4 → Add 3-5 drops of octanol → Boil for 30mins: Chau - Pre-heat KOH → Connect vaccum → Wash 3times with hot deionized water: Tram - Add 150ml pre-heated H2SO4 → Add 3-5 drops of octanol → Boil for 30mins: Nhu - Connect vaccum → Wash 3times with 30ml of hot deionized water → Wash cool deionized at last: Chau - Wash 3times with 25ml acetone → remove crucible → dry in oven at 105oC (1hr): Tram - Cool crucible in desicator → weigh (F1) → place crucible in muffle furnace at 550oC (3hr): Nhu - Cool crucible in desicator → reweigh (F2): Chau - Record the data: Tram
