ISO 29822 is an international standard on vegetable fats and oils that discusses the determination of relative amounts of 1,2- and 1,3-diacylglycerols to ensure vegetable fat and oil is safe for consumption.
ISO 29822 specifies the determination of the degree of isomerization of diacylglycerols in vegetable fats and oils. 1,2-Diacylglycerols are transformed to the more stable 1,3-isomers during storage or due to acidic catalysed reaction.
The mass fraction of 1,2-diacylglycerols can be used as a quality criterion for vegetable fats and oils.
ISO 29822 on the determination of 1,2- and 1,3-diacylglycerols in vegetable fats and oils is useful for:
Diacylglycerol is used to promote weight loss and to treat high levels of certain blood fats called triglycerides. In manufacturing, diacylglycerol is used as a stabilizer, thickener, and texturizer.
ISO 29822 provides you guidance with apparatus, sampling, preparation of test sample, procedures for preparation of the silica gel chromatography column, separation of the fraction containing non-polar lipids, preparation of trimethylsilyl ethers (silylation) and gas chromatography.
The procedures provided by ISO 29822 assist you in improving the quality of vegetable fats and oils and enhance the subsistence of vegetable fats and oils.
With obedience and compliance to ISO 29822, you can enhance vegetable fats and oils efficacy and manufacture a standardized product.
