    Figure 1: Soy Flake Content For 4 Samples As Determined by Lipid, FAME, and TGA Analysis

    Uploaded by

    Patrick M. Bollin
    This paper demonstrates that thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) can accurately determine the lipid content of soy flakes and algae. TGA measures the weight loss of biomass samples as they are heated, and the lipids degrade between 360-420°C. Tests on soy flakes showed their lipid content was approximately 20% by TGA, gas chromatography, and literature values. TGA analysis provides a simple, low-cost, and repeatable method for rapidly analyzing biomass lipid content compared to traditional gas chromatography.
