Animal and vegetable fats and oils - Gas chromatography of fatty acid methyl esters - Part 2 : preparation of methyl esters of fatty acids
ISO 12966-2:2011 specifies methods of preparing the methyl esters of fatty acids.It includes methods for preparing fatty acid methyl esters from animal and vegetable fats and oils, fatty acids and soaps. To cover different requirements four methylation methods are specified, namely: a) a "rapid" transmethylation procedure under alkaline conditions; b) a "general" transmethylation/methylation procedure under sequential alkaline and acid conditions; c) a BF3 transmethylation procedure; d) an alternative procedure using acid-catalysed transmethylation of glycerides.Methyl esters so produced are used in various analytical procedures requiring such derivatives, e.g. gas-liquid chromatography (GC), thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and infrared spectrometry (IR).

Le présent document spécifie trois méthodes de préparation des esters méthyliques d'acides gras à partir des corps gras d'origines animale et végétale, des acides gras et des savons.Afin de répondre aux différentes prescriptions, les trois méthodes de méthylation décrites sont les suivantes :- la méthode au trifluorure de bore (BF3)- la méthode à l'hydroxyde de triméthylsulfonium (TMSH)- la méthode de transestérification.
Le présent document spécifie une méthode de détermination de la teneur en isomères trans d'acides gras de corps gras d'origine végétale par chromatographie en phase gazeuse utilisant des colonnes capillaires. Cette méthode est particulièrement conçue pour évaluer la teneur en isomères trans obtenus lors du raffinage ou de l'hydrogénation de ces corps gras.
ISO 12966-2:2017 specifies methods of preparing the methyl esters of fatty acids. It includes methods for preparing fatty acid methyl esters from animal and vegetable fats and oils, fatty acids and soaps. To cover different requirements, four methylation methods are specified, namely: a) a "rapid" transmethylation procedure under alkaline conditions; b) a "general" transmethylation/methylation procedure under sequential alkaline and acid conditions; c) a BF3 transmethylation procedure; d) an alternative procedure using acid-catalysed transmethylation of glycerides. Methyl esters so produced are used in various analytical procedures requiring such derivatives, e.g. gas-liquid chromatography (GLC), thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and infrared spectrometry (IR). Milk and milk products (or fat coming from milk and milk products) are excluded from the scope of this document.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
