Functional Component-Raw Material

Product: CMO Raw Material (beef tallow extract)

Test Method: Gas Chromatographic (GCFID)

Test Results: See Fatty Acid Profile sample number M98-829584

Comments: The following information regarding the functional components of CMO all relate to the fatty acid profile tests.

Fatty Acid Profile: On 9/25/98, Woodson – Tenent Laboratories preformed a test on our product sample. The sample number M98-829584 came from CMO batch number 0998.

Letter: Mr. Casey Rollins of Woodson-Tenent Laboratories wrote Jim Kniffen of CMO Distribution Centers a letter on 5/27/99. The letter from Mr. Rollins indicates the specific methods of analysis used on our CMO product. Please note the method for Fatty Acid Composition is listed as AOAC 969.33, which is the Gas Chromatographic Method. (transcript of letter coming soon)

AOAC Official Methods Of Analysis: This is a copy of the “Gas Chromatographic Method” this is the method that is used by Woodson-Tenent Laboratories to test what is in CMO. (transcript of Gas Chromatographic Method coming soon)

Product Standard-Raw Material

Product: CMO Raw Material (beef tallow extract)

Physical Description:
Color: Off-white to Tan
Odor: Faint fatty-acid smell
Texture: Waxy Solid

Melting Point:
50° C (Range 40 – 60° C)

Identification:
Mixed ester, alcohol, tallow-acid wax.

Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA):
Minimum between 50-60șC with therogram structure depending on scan rate and packing sample tube. (associated Graphs & Summary coming soon)

Infrared Spectrum:
Neat on NaCl plates. (associated Graphs & Summary coming soon)

Note:
The CMO Product Standard is determined by Minitherm Differential Test Analysis unit vs. alumina reference material Nujol mull on NaCL plate. The tests are preformed using a Buck Scientific, Model 500, Infra-red Spectrometer. For more details see Functional Component test information, DTA Test Method.

Microbial Testing:
Total Plate Count: <25cfu per gram.
E. Coli:Negative.
Salmonella: Negative.

Functional Component Minimum Fatty Acid Profile, percent relative:
Tetradecanoic (Myristic): >20.0%
Tetradecanoic (Myristoleic): >4.20%
Hexadecenoic (Palmitoleic): >1.25%
Octadecenoic (Oleic): >1.50%
Octadecadienoic (Linoleic): >0.01%

Note:
The standards for our beef tallow fatty acid extract are monitored by GCFID testing. For more details see-“Functional Component” test information, Gas Chromatographic Test Methodology. This product is very new. We have improved our extraction process so that today’s CMO far exceeds our original standard.

Functional Component Test Methodology-Raw Material

 
Product: CMO Raw Material (beef tallow extract)

Tests:
Gas Chromatographic (GCFID), Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA)

Comments:
The following describes the methods and equipment used in testing CMO Raw Materials.

Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) Test Methodology
In the differential thermal analysis (DTA) technique the temperature of a sample of reference material, e.g., alumina, and the temperature of the sample of interest, e.g., CMO wax are determined as both samples are simultaneously heated up in a metal block. Although heated at the same rate, the temperatures of the two samples will differ due to the differences in heat capacities. A plot of the temperature difference as a function of the programmed (heating block) temperature indicates transition temperature (s) and whether the translation is endothermic or exothermic.

Major Equipment Utilization For Differential Thermal Analysis-CMO Testing
DTA analysis are conducted using a MINITHERM DTA unit available from the R.S. Wagner Co., Box 56, Parkesburg, PA. 19635 (Phone: 610-384-3587).

Gas Chromatographic (GCFID)
Test Methodology
The Gas Chromatographic Method, is described in AOAC “Official Methods of Analysis”,1990, section 963.22. See Attached AOAC reference.
