Problem 1:
❖ Moisture content = 8.00%
❖ Wt of Sample 1 = 1.015 g
❖ Wt of Sample 2 = 1.025 g
❖ Normality of HCl used for titration = 0.1142
❖ HCl used for Sample 1 = 22.0 ml
❖ HCl used for Sample 2 = 22.5 ml
❖ HCl used for reagent blank = 0.2 ml
❖ Pinto bean protein contains 17.5% nitrogen.
 Calculate crude protein content on both wet and dry
weight basis of the pinto bean ?

Problem 4:
❖ The free fatty acid content in a good soybean oil should be less
than or equal to 0.05%
❖ The average molecular weight of free fatty acids of the oil is 280
❖ Acid value is 0.3
  What is the maximum acid value of the good soybean oil ?

 What is the content (%) of free fatty acids of a soybean oil ?

Problem 5:
❖ MWA1 = 150 ; one double bond per molecule ; IVA1 = 150
❖ MWB1 = 300 ; one double bond per molecule ; IVB1 = ?
❖ Triglycerides A and B have the very similar molecular weight = 878
❖ IVA2 = 174 ; 6 double bonds per molecule
❖ IVB2 = ? ; 3 double bonds per molecule
a) Both A and B have one double bond per molecule
