AB-141 Analysis of edible fats and oils  
Analysis of edible fats and oils

In the Bulletin the following analytical methods are described and, as far as possible, documented with examples of curves and instrument reports:

  • Water content by the Karl Fischer method
  • Oxidation stability by the Rancimat method (AOCS Cd 12b-92)
  • Iodine number
  • Peroxide number
  • Saponification number
  • Acid number, acid value and free fatty acids (FFA)
  • Hydroxyl number
  • Nickel traces, polarographic

In these methods particular care has been taken not to use chlorinated solvents.
