BS EN 14109 is a European standard on fat and oil derivatives that discusses the determination of potassium content in fat and oil derivatives to improve the quality of fat and oil derivatives.
BS EN 14109 provides a method for the determination of potassium contents equal to or greater than 0,5 mg/kg.
The method under BS EN 14109 is applicable to fatty acid methyl esters intended for addition to mineral oils.
BS EN 14109 on the determination of potassium content in fat and oil derivatives is useful for:
Potassium content is the residual potassium remaining in FAME after the vegetable oil transesterification reaction and the separation of so obtained glycerol.
BS EN 14109 provides you with guidance on apparatus, the procedure for sampling, preparation of the sample, preparation of the set of calibration solutions, spectrometric measurements, expression of results, precision, etc.
The methods and procedures provided by BS EN 14109 assist you in the determination of potassium content in fat and oil derivatives, enhance FAME quality and improves a range of other properties, including taste and shelf-life.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 14109, you can enhance fat and oil derivatives’ effectiveness and efficacy, create new products, and launch them successfully in a global market.
