Future Research
For future research, we plan to perform multiple trials of each of the experiments using multiple samples.
Modifications:
Protein Extraction - Denature the protein further to enhance extraction.
Fat Extraction - Use diethyl ether rather than petroleum ether and allow more time for extraction.
Vitamin C
Spectroscopy - Had issue with DCPIP and inaccurate results. Reduce variability in the beginning of the experiment.
