This test method is the official Titer Test, which determines the solidification point of the fatty acids obtained from a saponified fat or oil sample. It is applicable to animal fats, vegetable oils, and marine oils and is used to characterize hardness and composition.
This test method is the official refractive index method for fats and oils, measuring how light bends through an oil to help characterize its identity, degree of unsaturation, and quality. It applies to all normal oils and liquid fats.
This test method is the official method for determining the mass per unit volume (“liter weight”) of oils and fats by measuring the mass of a calibrated pycnometer filled with the sample at a controlled temperature. It is used to convert between mass and volume for oils and fats and applies to samples that remain… Continue reading Relative Density
This test method measures the oxidative stability of fats and oils by determining the induction period at which oxidation rapidly accelerates. It does this by heating the sample under a stream of air and monitoring conductivity changes in the downstream water as volatile oxidation products form.
This test method uses a calculation involving total, saturated, and unsatured fatty acids to quantify triglycerides in oils and fats.
