BS 684 is a British standard on the methods of analysis of fats and fatty oils that discusses the determination of oxidized fatty acids in animal and vegetable fats and oils to enhance the palatability and nutritional quality of animal and vegetable fats and oils.
BS 684-2.12 is the twelfth part of the BS 684 series that describes a method for the determination of oxidized fatty acids in animal and vegetable fats and oils.
BS 684-2.12-Determination of oxidized fatty acids in animal and vegetable fats and oils is useful for:
Oxidized fatty acids are the acids insoluble in light petroleum under the conditions described. Oxidation is an undesirable series of chemical reactions in oil that degrades its quality and value.
BS 684-2.12 provides you with guidance on apparatus, sampling, the procedures for the preparation of test sample, saponification, separating the oxidized acids, recovering, and weighing the oxidized acids, expression of results, test reports, etc.
The method and procedure provided by BS 684-2.12 assist you in the determination of oxidized fatty acids in animal and vegetable fats and oils, improving the quality and subsistence of animal and vegetable fats and oils and ensuring animal and vegetable oils are free from contaminations.
With obedience and compliance to BS 684-2.12, you can enhance animal and vegetable fats and oils’ effectiveness and efficacy, create new products, and launch them successfully in a global market.
