Solubility and the
Percent of Oil in Peanuts |
|
|
|
Introduction:
Solubility and the percent of oil in
fruits are two important factor that affect the value of the fruit
as food. Factories which extract oil from nuts and fruits such as
olives and corn need to know the percent of oil in such products before
they are able to evaluate the price. Food laboratories frequently
perform such experiments. |

Project
description:
In
this experiment, you will determine the solubility of a
variety of solutes in several solvents. The observed solubility
will be related to the structure and intermolecular forces of both
the solute and the solvent. On the basis of these tests, you will
then devise and carry out an experimental method for the
determination of the percent of oil in peanuts. |
