Animal and vegetable fats and oils -- Determination of moisture and volatile matter content
This International Standard specifies two methods for the determination, by drying, of the moisture and volatile matter content of animal or vegetable fats and oils:
- method A, using a sand bath or hotplate;
- method B, using a drying oven.
Method A is applicable to all fats and oils.
Method B is applicable only to non-drying fats and oils with an acid value less than 4. Under no circumstances should lauric oils be analysed by this method.
