Animal and vegetable fats and oils - Determination of tocopherol and tocotrienol contents by high-performance liquid chromatography (ISO 9936:2006 + Amd.1:2011); German version EN ISO 9936:2006 + A1:2011
Tierische und pflanzliche Fette und Öle - Bestimmung des Tocopherol- und Tocotrienol-Gehaltes mit Hochleistungsflüssigchromatographie (ISO 9936:2006 + Amd.1:2011); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 9936:2006 + A1:2011
Overview
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the contents of free α-, β-, γ-, and δ-tocopherols and tocotrienols in animal and vegetable fats and oils by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). For products containing tocopherol or tocotrienol esters, it is necessary to carry out a preliminary saponification. The method has been tested and validated under German chairmanship in an interlaboratory test. The modifications for the standard DIN EN ISO 9936:2006-07 refer to the clauses 5.1, 5.4 and 6.2 as well as Annex C. The International Standard has been prepared by ISO/TC 34/SC 11 "Animal and vegetable fats and oils" (secretariat: BSI, United Kingdom). CEN/TC 307 "Oilseeds, vegetable and animal fats and oils and their by-products - Sampling and test methods" (secretariat: AFNOR, France) is responsible for the European Standard. On the national level, the "Gemeinschaftsausschuss für die Analytik von Fetten, Ölen, Fettprodukten, verwandten Stoffen und Rohstoffen" (GA Fett) ("Joint Committee for the analysis of fats, oil, fat products, related substances and raw materials") of the German Society for Fat Science (DGF) and NAL is responsible for the standard.
