BS EN 14107 is a European standard on fat and oil derivatives that discusses the determination of phosphorous content in fat and oil derivatives to improve the quality of fat and oil derivatives.
BS EN 14107 specifies an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectrometry method for the determination of phosphorus content between 4 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg in Fatty Acid Methyl Esters, hereinafter referred to as FAME.
The method under BS EN 14107 aims to evaluate the FAME quality, in terms of transesterification by-products content such as phosphorus, whose concentration may affect the fuel behavior.
BS EN 14107 on the determination of free glycerol content in fat and oil derivatives is useful for:
Phosphorus content is residual phosphorus remaining in FAME from phospholipids after the vegetable oil transesterification reaction.
BS EN 14107 provides you with guidance on apparatus, sampling, preparation of test sample, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectrometry method, the procedure for sample preparation, preparation of standards, results, precision, etc.
The methods and procedures provided by BS EN 14107 assist you in the determination of free phosphorous 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 14107, you can enhance fat and oil derivatives’ effectiveness and efficacy, create new products, and launch them successfully in a global market.
