ISO/TS 22115 specifies a method for the semi-quantitative analysis of oils, fats, and oil/fat-related samples (deodistillates).
ISO/TS 22115 is applicable to the screening of oils, fats, and oil/fat-related samples to obtain main (e.g. Triglycerides) and minor (e.g. sterols, sterol esters, tocopherols, wax esters, fatty alcohols, glycerol) component information in one single analysis. For a truly quantitative analysis of pre-identified compound classes, specific methods are more appropriate.
ISO/TS 22115 specifies these methods can also be used as a useful qualitative screening tool for the relative comparison of sample compositions.
ISO/TS 22115 on fingerprint test method for animal and vegetable fats and oils is relevant to:
Gas chromatography is an analytical technique used to separate the chemical components of a sample mixture and then detect them to determine their presence or absence and/or how much is present. In this regard, ISO/TS 22115 walks you through the fingerprint method for the separation of lipid classes from animal and vegetable oils and fats.
ISO/TS 22115 can be particularly beneficial for your product development initiatives and from the perspective of manufacturing products that align with standardized safety and health regulations.
BSI recommends this version of standard for organisations operating in or with the UK. The ISO edition is available here if required.
