Animal and vegetable fats and oils - Determination of iodine value (ISO/FDIS 3961:2024)

This document specifies a reference method for the determination of the iodine value (commonly known in the industry as IV) of animal and vegetable fats and oils, hereinafter referred to as fats.
Annex B describes a method for the calculation of the IV from fatty acid compositional data. This method is not applicable to fish oils. Furthermore, cold-pressed, crude and unrefined vegetable oils as well as (partially) hydrogenated oils can give different results by the two methods. The calculated IV is affected by impurities and thermal degradation products.
NOTE The method in Annex B is based upon the AOCS Official method Cd 1c-85[10].

Tierische und pflanzliche Fette und Öle - Bestimmung der Iodzahl (ISO/FDIS 3961:2024)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Bezugsverfahren zur Bestimmung der Iodzahl (im industriellen Bereich gemeinhin bekannt als IZ) in tierischen und pflanzlichen Fetten und Ölen fest, die nachfolgend als Fette bezeichnet werden.
Anhang B beschreibt ein Verfahren zur Berechnung der IZ aus Daten zur Fettsäurezusammensetzung. Dieses Verfahren ist nicht auf Fischöl anwendbar. Außerdem können kaltgepresste, unverarbeitete und nicht raffinierte pflanzliche Öle sowie (teilweise) hydrierte Öle zu unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen bei den zwei Verfahren führen. Die berechnete Iodzahl IZ wird durch Verunreinigungen und durch thermische Abbauprodukte beeinträchtigt.
ANMERKUNG   Das Verfahren in Anhang B beruht auf dem offiziellen AOCS Verfahren Cd 1c 85 [10].

Corps gras d'origines animale et végétale - Détermination de l'indice d'iode (ISO/FDIS 3961:2024)

Le présent document spécifie une méthode de référence pour la détermination de l'indice d'iode (communément appelé II dans le secteur industriel) des huiles et graisses d'origines animale et végétale, désignées ci-après par le terme corps gras.
L'Annexe B décrit une méthode de calcul de l'II à partir de données relatives à la composition en acides gras. Cette méthode ne s'applique pas aux huiles de poisson. Par ailleurs, les huiles végétales issues de pression à froid, brutes et non raffinées ainsi que les huiles (partiellement) hydrogénées peuvent donner des résultats différents selon les deux méthodes. L'II calculé est affecté par les impuretés et les produits de dégradation thermique.
NOTE La méthode en Annexe B est fondée sur la méthode officielle Cd 1c-85 de l'AOCS[10].

Animal and vegetable fats and oils — Determination of
iodine value
1 Scope
This document specifies a reference method for the determination of the iodine value (commonly known in
the industry as IV) of animal and vegetable fats and oils, hereinafter referred to as fats.
Annex B describes a method for the calculation of the IV from fatty acid compositional data. This method
is not applicable to fish oils. Furthermore, cold-pressed, crude and unrefined vegetable oils as well as
(partially) hydrogenated oils can give different results by the two methods. The calculated IV is affected by
impurities and thermal degradation products.
[10]
NOTE The method in Annex B is based upon the AOCS Official method Cd 1c-85 .
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes
requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at https:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1
iodine value
IV
mass of halogen, expressed as iodine, absorbed by the test portion following the specified procedure, divided
by the mass of the test portion
Note 1 to entry: The IV is expressed as a mass fraction in grams per 100 g of fat.
4 Principle
Dissolution of a test portion in solvent and addition of Wijs reagent. After a specified time, addition of
potassium iodide and water, and titration of the liberated iodine with sodium thiosulfate solution.
NOTE Annex B describes a method for the calculation of the IV from fatty acid compositional data. However, this
is not intended to be a rapid method. The method gives two results from one analytical procedure. The volumetric
method is the reference method.

5 Reagents
Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade.
WARNING — Attention is drawn to the regulations which specify the handling of hazardous
substances. Technical, organizational and personal safety measures shall be followed. Wijs reagent
causes severe burns; vapours can cause lung and eye damage. A fume hood shall be used for the work.
