Animal and vegetable fats and oils - Determination of moisture and volatile matter content (ISO 662:1998) (Austrian Standard)
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.
