What is BS EN 14111-Determination of iodine value in fat and oil derivatives about?
BS EN 14111 is a European standard on fat and oil derivatives that discusses the determination of iodine value in fat and oil derivatives to improve the quality of fat and oil derivatives.
BS EN 14111 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 14111 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 14111 (m/m) and (v/v) can be used.
Who is BS EN 14111-Determination of iodine value in fat and oil derivatives for?
BS EN 14111 on the determination of iodine value 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 14111-Determination of iodine value in fat and oil derivatives?
The iodine value (IV) indicates the degree of unsaturation of a fat or oil. It is defined as the number of grams of iodine absorbed by 100 g of FAME.
BS EN 14111 provides you with guidance on apparatus, sampling, preparation of test sample, procedures, calculation of iodine value, precision, etc.
The methods and procedures provided by BS EN 14111 assist you in the determination of iodine value 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 14111, you can enhance fat and oil derivatives’ effectiveness and efficacy, create new products, and launch them successfully in a global market.
