Palmöl - Bestimmung des Bleichindex zur Beurteilung der Qualität von rohem Palmöl (DOBI Deterioration of bleachability index) sowie des Carotingehaltes (ISO 17932:2011); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 17932:2011
Overview
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the deterioration of bleachability index (DOBI) of crude palm oil and the carotene content of crude and bleached palm oil and their fractions by spectrophotometric examination in the ultraviolet and visible range of the spectrum. This standard has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34 "Food products", in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 307 "Oilseeds, vegetable and animal fats and oils and their by-products - Methods of sampling and analysis". DIN collaboration is realized by 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 of the Food and Agricultural Products Standards Committee (NAL).
