Bestimmung der individuellen und der Gesamtsterine - Gaschromatographisches Verfahren - Teil 1: Tierische und pflanzliche Fette und Öle (ISO 12228-1:2014); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 12228-1:2014
Overview
This part of the International Standard ISO 12228 specifies a procedure for the gas chromatographic determination of the contents and composition of sterols in animal and vegetable fats and oils. However, the determination of the contents and composition of sterols in olive and olive pomace oils is to be carried out using ISO 12228-2. This 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, NA 057-05-05 AA "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 are responsible for the standard.
