ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 12872:2010), which has been technically

revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— the use of iso-octane as an alternative to hexane has been added;

— precision data of the method using iso-octane compared with hexane have been added.

Introduction

As part of the Trade standard applying to olive oils and olive-pomace oils, the International Olive Council

[6]
(IOC) published COI/T.20/Doc. No 23:2006 .

COI/T.20/Doc. No 23 was applicable to olive and olive-pomace oils and was used to distinguish between

lampante virgin olive oils and crude olive-pomace oils. Olive pomace is the residual paste which still

contains a variable amount of water and oil after pressing or centrifuging.

In 2008, the IOC submitted the document to ISO/TC 34/SC 11 for adoption as an International Standard.

[7]

In 2017, the IOC published a revision of COI/T.20/Doc. No 23/Rev.1 , and this revised document is an

adoption of the IOC revised method.

Olive oils and olive-pomace oils — Determination of the
2-glyceryl monopalmitate content
1 Scope

This document specifies a procedure for the determination of the content, as a percentage mass fraction,

of 2-glyceryl monopalmitate in olive oils and olive-pomace oils that are liquid at ambient temperature

(20 °C).
[7]
NOTE This document is based on COI/T.20/Doc. No 23/Rev.1:2017 .
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.

ISO 661, Animal and vegetable fats and oils — Preparation of test sample
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

ISO and IEC maintain terminology 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
2-glyceryl monopalmitate content
mass fraction of 2-glyceryl monopalmitate in the monoacylglycerol fraction

Note 1 to entry: This is determined according to the method specified in this document.

Note 2 to entry: The 2-glyceryl monopalmitate content is expressed as a percentage.

4 Principle

The oil, after suitable preparation, is subjected to the action of pancreatic lipase. A partial

hydrolysis takes place that is specific for positions 1 and 3 of the triacylglycerol molecule so that

2-monoacylglycerols are obtained as reaction products. The percentage of 2-glyceryl monopalmitate in

the monoacylglycerol fraction is determined, after silylation, by capillary gas chromatography.

5 Reagents

WARNING — Technical, organizational and personal safety measures shall be followed.

During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade, and

distilled or demineralized water or water of equivalent purity.

5.1 Silica gel, with a particle size of 0,063 mm to 0,200 mm (70/280 mesh), prepared as follows:

— put the silica gel into a porcelain cup, dry in an oven at 160 °C for 4 h, then cool at ambient temperature

in a desiccator;

— add a volume of water equivalent to 5 % of the mass of the silica gel as follows:

— weigh 152 g of silica gel into a 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask, add 8 g of water, stopper and homogenize

carefully;
— leave to settle for at least 12 h before using.
5.2 n-Hexane, chromatography grade.

Hexane may be replaced by iso-octane (2,2,4-trimethylpentane of chromatography grade), provided

that comparable precision values are achieved (see the precision values of the method with the use of

iso-octane in Annex B).

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
2-glyceryl monopalmitate content

mass fraction of 2-glyceryl monopalmitate in the monoacylglycerol fraction, determined according to

the method specified in this International Standard

Note 1 to entry: The 2-glyceryl monopalmitate content is expressed as a percentage.

4 Principle

The oil, after suitable preparation, is subjected to the action of pancreatic lipase. A partial

hydrolysis takes place that is specific for positions 1 and 3 of the triacylglycerol molecule so that

2-monoacylglycerols are obtained as reaction products. The percentage of 2-glyceryl monopalmitate in

the monoacylglycerol fraction is determined, after silylation, by capillary gas chromatography.

5 Reagents

WARNING — Comply with any local regulations which specify the handling of hazardous

substances. Technical, organizational and personal safety measures shall be followed.

During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade, and

distilled or demineralized water or water of equivalent purity.

5.1 Silica gel, with a particle size of 0,063 mm to 0,200 mm (70/280 mesh), prepared as follows: put

the silica gel into a porcelain cup, dry in an oven at 160 °C for 4 h, then cool at ambient temperature in a

desiccator. Add a volume of water equivalent to 5 % of the mass of the silica gel as follows: weigh 152 g

of silica gel into a 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask, add 8 g of water, stopper and homogenize carefully. Leave to

settle for at least 12 h before using.
5.2 n-Hexane, chromatography grade.

NOTE Hexane may be replaced by iso-octane (2,2,4- trimethylpentane in chromatography grade), provided

that comparable precision values are achieved (see Precision values of the method with the used of isooctane in

Annex B).

(TMCS); volume fractions: 9 ml/13 ml, 3 ml/13 ml, and 1 ml/13 ml, respectively.

NOTE Ready-to-use solutions are available commercially. Other silylation reagents can be used, e.g. bis

trimethylsilyl trifluoracetamide + 1 % trimethylchlorosilane, diluted with an identical volume of anhydrous

pyridine.

5.16 Reference samples: pure monoacylglycerols and mixtures of monoacylglycerols with a known

composition similar to that of the sample.
