cholesterol; eggs; enzymes; high performance liquid chromatography; noodles; saponification; solvents
Abstract:
... Cholesterol content is generally used as a quality parameter for egg noodles, but some methods for its determination are not specific for cholesterol; moreover, they require numerous organic solvents and corrosive reagents, which have harmful affects on the environment. The present paper suggests an alternative technique for this determination using enzymes, which is cheaper, faster and environmen ...
