Fat content was determined in 33 commercially produced bakery products
by three different techniques-ether extraction (EE), acid hydrolysis
(AH), or gas chromatographic (GC) analysis. With a few exceptions, the
EE technique gave lower fat content, whereas the AH technique gave hi
gher fat content, as compared to the values obtained by the GC analysi
s. This was true especially for bread products and products where emul
sifiers were used.
