Stomacher apparatus
The Stomacher apparatus is a laboratory equipment used for the homogenization and blending of solid or semi-solid samples, such as food, feed, or environmental samples, prior to microbiological analysis. The device utilizes a stomaching action, where the sample is placed in a sterile bag and subjected to a controlled mixing motion, effectively breaking down the sample into a homogeneous suspension.

Comprehensive Fruit Composition Analysis
Carbohydrates were determined in water-soluble extract (W-SE) by HPLC analysis. Two grams of freeze-dried fruit powder were extracted with 20 mL of water/perchloric acid (95:5, v:v). In an ice bath, the mixture was sonicated (amplitude 60) with a macro-probe (Vibra-Cell sonicator; Sonic and Materials Inc., Danbury, CT, USA) for 1 min (two cycles, 30 s/cycle, 5 min interval between cycles). The suspension was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, kept at 4 °C overnight, and centrifuged for 10 min at 10,000 rpm. W-SE was filtered and stored at −20 °C until further use. A Spherisorb column (Waters, Milford, CT, USA) and a Perkin Elmer 200a refractive index detector were used to determine the concentrations of glucose, fructose, mannitol, and sucrose [25 (link)]. Carbohydrates standards were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany).
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
