67.200 - Edible oils and fats. Oilseeds

The purpose of this European Standard is to determine the free glycerol and residual mono-, di- and triglyceride contents in fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) intended for addition to mineral oils. The total glycerol content is then calculated from the obtained results.
Under the conditions described, the quantification limits are 0,001 % (m/m) for free glycerol, 0,10 % (m/m) for all glycerides (mono-, di- and tri-). This method is suitable for FAME prepared from rapeseed, sunflower, soybean, pa...view more

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the oxidation stability of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) at 110 °C, by means of measuring the induction period up to 48 h.
NOTE 1   EN 15751 [1] describes a similar test method for oxidation stability determination of pure fatty acid methyl esters and of blends of FAME with petroleum-based diesel containing 2 % (V/V) of FAME at minimum.
NOTE 2   The precision statement of this test method was determined in a Round Robin exercise ...view more

This document specifies three methods (two titrimetric and one potentiometric) for the determination
of acidity in animal and vegetable fats and oils, hereinafter referred to as “fats”. The acidity is expressed
preferably as acid value or, alternatively, as acidity calculated conventionally.
This document is applicable to refined and crude vegetable or animal fats and oils, soap stock fatty
acids or technical fatty acids. It does not apply to waxes.
Since the methods are completely non-spec...view more

This document specifies a method for the quantitative determination of hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol content in extra virgin olive oils using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with spectrophotometric detection. The method is also applicable to all other olive oils of a different commercial category.

This document specifies a method for the determination of the saponification value of animal and
vegetable fats and oils. The saponification value is a measure of the free and esterified acids present in
fats and fatty acids.
The method is applicable to refined and crude vegetable and animal fats.
If mineral acids are present, the results given by this method are not interpretable unless the mineral
acids are determined separately.
The saponification value can also be calculated from fatty...view more

This document specifies a method for the determination of the moisture and volatile matter content of oilseeds.

This document specifies certain characteristics of the essential oil of aniseed (Pimpinella anisum L.), with a view to facilitating the assessment of its quality.

The purpose of this document is to describe a procedure for the determination of the ester content in fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) intended for incorporation into diesel oil. It also allows determining the linolenic acid methyl ester content. It allows verifying that the ester content of FAME is greater than 90 % (m/m) and that the linolenic acid content is between 1 % (m/m) and 15 % (m/m).
This method is suitable for FAME which contains methyl esters between C6 and C24.
NOTE 1   For the purp...view more

This document specifies a reference method for the determination of free sterols/stanols and steryl/stanol esters (0,1 % to 97 % mass fraction) in foods and dietary supplements containing added phytosterols and in phytosterol food additive concentrates. Milk and milk products (or fat coming from milk and milk products) are excluded from the scope of this document. This method does not apply to matrices that contain rice bran oil at concentrations of more than 20 % due to possible interferences i...view more

This document specifies a rapid method for extraction of oil and for preparation of the methyl esters of fatty acids. The methyl esters thus obtained can be used for gas chromatography. This International Standard is applicable to the following oilseeds: rape, sunflower, soya beans, mustard, linseed. NOTE Applying this rapid method to high erucic acid content rapeseed leads to an overestimation of erucic acid.

This Technical Specification describes a method for the analysis of pesticide residues in fatty oils of plant origin (essential oils are excluded). It has been validated in an interlaboratory test with olive oil. However, laboratory experiences have shown that this method is also applicable to other kinds of oils such as sunflower seed oil, sesame oil, flax seed oil, rape seed oil, grape seed oil, thistle oil and pumpkin seed oil.

This document specifies a rapid method for extraction of oil and for preparation of the methyl esters of fatty acids. The methyl esters thus obtained can be used for gas chromatography.
This document is applicable to the following oilseeds: rape and mustard with low erucic acid content (< 2 %), sunflower, soya beans, linseed.
NOTE Applying this rapid method to high erucic acid content rapeseed leads to an overestimation of erucic acid content by approximately a mass fraction of 1 %. This diffe...view more

This document specifies a method for the determination of the individual glucosinolates content in
rapeseeds and rapeseed meals using high-performance liquid chromatography with gradient elution.
This method was tested on rapeseeds and rapeseed meals (Brassica rapa, Brassica napus and Brassica
juncea) but is applicable to other plant materials, on the condition that the occurring glucosinolates
previously identified are described in this document. On the contrary, the quantitative analysis o...view more

This document specifies a reference method for the determination of milk fat purity using gas chromatographic analysis of triglycerides. The method utilizes the differences in triglyceride fingerprint of milk fat from the individual triglyceride fingerprints of other fats and oils to determine samples which are outside the range normally observed for milk fat. This is achieved by using the defined triglyceride formulae based on the normalized weighted sum of individual triglyceride peaks which a...view more
