What is BS EN 14106-Determination of free glycerol content in fat and oil derivatives about?
BS EN 14106 is a European standard on fat and oil derivatives that discusses the determination of free glycerol content in fat and oil derivatives to improve the quality of fat and oil derivatives.
BS EN 14106 specifies a gas chromatographic method for the determination of free glycerol content in Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) in the range of 0,005 % to 0,070 %, hereinafter referred to as FAME.
The method under BS EN 14106 aims to evaluate the FAME quality, in terms of transesterification by-products content such as glycerol, whose concentration may affect the fuel behaviour.
Note: In the context of the method under BS EN 14106 (m/m) and (v/v) can be used.
Who is BS EN 14106-Determination of free glycerol content in fat and oil derivatives for?
BS EN 14106 on the determination of free glycerol content in fat and oil derivatives is useful for:
- Food scientists
- Food technologists
- Food laboratories
- Food health and safety departments
Why should you use BS EN 14106-Determination of free glycerol content in fat and oil derivatives?
Free glycerol content is the residual glycerol remaining in FAME after the vegetable oil transesterification reaction and the separation of so obtained glycerol.
BS EN 14106 provides you with guidance on apparatus, sampling, preparation of test sample, the procedure for gas chromatographic conditions, peaks identification, determination of response factor, quantitative analysis, precision, etc.
The methods and procedures provided by BS EN 14106 assist you in the determination of free glycerol content in fat and oil derivatives, enhance FAME quality, and improves a range of other properties, including taste and shelf-life qualities.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 14106, you can enhance fat and oil derivatives’ effectiveness and efficacy, create new products, and launch them successfully in a global market
