METHODS OF TEST FOR PALM OIL AND PALM OIL PRODUCTS : PART 2: DETERMINATION OF MOISTURE AND VOLATILE MATTER CONTENT (SECOND REVISION) (ISO 662-1980, IDT)
This Malaysian Standard specifies two methods for the determination, by drying, of the moisture and volatile matter content of animal or vegetable fats or oils:
- method A, using a sand bath or hot-plate;
- 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. In no circumstances should lauric oils be analysed by this method.
