FAT AND OIL DERIVATIVES - FATTY ACID METHYL ESTERS (FAME) - DETERMINATION OF FREE AND TOTAL GLYCEROL AND MONO-, DI-, TRIGLYCERIDE CONTENTS (REFERENCE METHOD)
This Malaysian Standard specifies a method to determine the free glycerol and residual mono-, di- and triglyceride contents in fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) intended for addition to mineral oils. The total glycerol content is then calculated from the results obtained.
This method is suitable for FAME from rapeseed, sunflower, soybean oils but is not suitable for FAME produced from or containing coconut and palm kernel oils because of overlapping of peaks.
