BS ISO 18363-1:2015

This standard BS ISO 18363-1:2015 Animal and vegetable fats and oils. Determination of fatty-acid-bound chloropropanediols (MCPDs) and glycidol by GC/MS is classified in these ICS categories:

• 67.200.10 Animal and vegetable fats and oils

This part of ISO 18363 describes a procedure for the indirect determination of 3-MCPD esters (bound 3-MCPD) and possible free 3-MCPD after alkaline catalysed ester cleavage and derivatization with phenylboronic acid (PBA). Furthermore, this part of ISO 18363 enables the indirect determination of glycidyl esters (bound glycidol) under the assumption that no other substances are present that react at room temperature with inorganic chloride to generate 3-MCPD.

This part of ISO 18363 is applicable to solid and liquid fats and oils. Milk and milk products (or fat coming from milk and milk products) are excluded from the scope of this part of ISO 18363.
