| Column A (Proximate Principle) | Column B (Analysis Method) |
|---|---|
| 1. Crude protein | (a) Calculated by difference |
| 2. Ether extract | (b) Hot air oven |
| 3. Total Ash | (c) Kjeldahl method |
| 4. Moisture | (d) Soxhlet apparatus |
| 5. NFE | (e) Muffle furnace |
- 1-c, 2-d, 3-e, 4-b, 5-a — Correct Answer
- 1-d, 2-c, 3-e, 4-b, 5-a
- 1-c, 2-e, 3-d, 4-b, 5-a
- 1-c, 2-d, 3-b, 4-e, 5-a
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 1-c, 2-d, 3-e, 4-b, 5-a
| Principle | Method / Instrument / Condition |
|---|---|
| Crude Protein (CP) | Kjeldahl method — N% × 6.25 = CP% |
| Ether Extract (EE) | Soxhlet apparatus — petroleum ether solvent extraction |
| Total Ash | Muffle furnace — 600°C for 2 hours |
| Moisture | Hot air oven — 100°C for 1 hour |
| NFE | Calculated by difference: 100 − (CP + EE + CF + Ash) |
