CEN ISO/TS 17764-1:2006

ISO/TS 17764 specifies methods for the quantitative determination of individual fatty acids and of the sum of the fatty acids (elutable fatty acids). This part of ISO/TS 17764 specifies two methods for preparing the methyl esters of fatty acids of animal and vegetable fats, oils and fatty acid mixtures for raw materials for compound animal feeds, and fatty acids originating from fat extracts of animal feeding stuffs, including fats and fatty acid mixtures containing butyric acid. The general method, the boron trifluoride (BF3) method, is concerned with the preparation of methyl esters of fatty acids with six or more C atoms, originating from fats, oils and free fatty acids.
