Animal and vegetable fats and oils - Determination of saponification value (ISO 3657:2013)

This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the saponification value of animal and vegetable fats and oils. The saponification value is a measure of the free and esterified acids present in fats and fatty acids. The method is applicable to refined and crude vegetable and animal fats. If mineral acids are present, the results given by this method are not interpretable unless the mineral acids are determined separately. The saponification value can also be calculated from fatty acid data obtained by gas liquid chromatography analysis as given in Annex B. For this calculation, it is necessary to be sure that the sample does not contain major impurities or is thermally degraded.

Tierische und pflanzliche Fette und Öle - Bestimmung der Verseifungszahl (ISO 3657:2013)

Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Verseifungszahl von tierischen und pflanz-lichen Fetten und Ölen fest. Die Verseifungszahl ist ein Maß für die Menge an freien und veresterten Säuren, die in Fetten und Fettsäuren vorhanden sind.
Das Verfahren ist für raffinierte und rohe pflanzliche und tierische Fette geeignet.
Bei Vorhandensein anorganischer Säuren sind die nach diesem Verfahren erhaltenen Ergebnisse nicht auswertbar, es sei denn, die anorganischen Säuren wurden getrennt bestimmt.
Die Verseifungszahl kann auch mit den Fettsäure-Daten, erhalten aus Gas-Flüssigkeits-Chromatographie-Untersuchungen, wie in Anhang B angegeben, berechnet werden.

Corps gras d'origines animale et végétale - Détermination de l'indice de saponification (ISO 3657:2013)

L'ISO 3657:2013 spécifie une méthode de détermination de l'indice de saponification des corps gras d'origines animale et végétale. L'indice de saponification est une caractéristique des acides gras libres et estérifiés présents dans les corps gras et acides gras.
La méthode est applicable aux corps gras d'origines végétale et animale raffinés et bruts.
En présence d'acides minéraux, les résultats donnés par cette méthode ne sont plus interprétables si l'on ne dose pas séparément l'acidité minérale.
L'indice de saponification peut également être calculé à partir des données de composition en acides gras obtenues par chromatographie en phase gazeuse, selon les détails donnés en annexe. Pour effectuer ce calcul, il est nécessaire de s'assurer que l'échantillon ne contient aucune impureté importante et qu'il n'est pas dégradé thermiquement.

Živalske in rastlinske maščobe in olja - Določevanje števila umiljenja (ISO 3657:2013)

Ta mednarodni standard določa metodo za določevanje števila umiljenja živalskih in rastlinskih masti in olj. Umiljenje je meritev prostih in esterificiranih kislin, prisotnih v maščobah in maščobnih kislinah. Metoda se uporablja za rafinirane in surove rastlinske in živalske maščobe. Če so prisotne mineralne kisline, rezultatov, pridobljenih s to metodo, ni mogoče interpretirati, razen če se mineralne kisline določijo ločeno. Umiljenje je mogoče izračunati tudi na podlagi podatkov o maščobnih kislinah, pridobljenih z analizo plinsko-tekočinske kromatografije, kot je podana v Dodatku B. Za ta izračun je treba preveriti, da vzorec ne vsebuje večjih nečistoč in da ni termično razkrojen.

Animal and vegetable fats and oils — Determination of
saponification value
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the saponification value of animal and
vegetable fats and oils. The saponification value is a measure of the free and esterified acids present in fats
and fatty acids.
The method is applicable to refined and crude vegetable and animal fats.
If mineral acids are present, the results given by this method are not interpretable unless the mineral acids are
determined separately.
The saponification value can also be calculated from fatty acid data obtained by gas liquid chromatography
analysis as given in Annex B.

2 Normative references
The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this
International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to
revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the
possibility of applying the most recent editions of the standards listed below. Members of JEC and ISO
maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.
IS0 661 : 1989, Animal and vegetable fats and oils - Preparation of test sample.
3 Terms and Definition
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following definition applies.
3.1
saponification value
The amount of potassium hydroxide in milligrams required to saponify 1 g of fat under the conditions specified
in this International Standard.
4 Principle
The test sample is saponified by boiling under reflux with an excess of ethanolic potassium hydroxide,
followed by titration of the excess potassium hydroxide with standard volumetric hydrochloric acid solution.
