This document specifies a reference method for the determination of milk fat purity using gas
chromatographic analysis of triglycerides. The method utilizes the differences in triglyceride
fingerprint of milk fat from the individual triglyceride fingerprints of other fats and oils to determine
samples which are outside the range normally observed for milk fat. This is achieved by using the
defined triglyceride formulae based on the normalized weighted sum of individual triglyceride peaks
which are sensitive to the integrity of the milk[6][7]. The integrity of the milk fat can be determined by comparing the result of these formulae with those previously observed for a range of pure milk fat samples[12]. Both vegetable fats and animal fats such as beef tallow and lard can be detected.Cross References:ISO 1211ISO 1740ISO 3696ISO 7328ISO 2450ISO 1736ISO 14156ISO 5725-2ISO 5725-1ISO 707ISO 835BS 410 (all parts)ISO 3310 (all parts)All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
