Animal and vegetable fats and oils - Gas chromatography of fatty acid methyl esters - Part 2 : preparation of methyl esters of fatty acids

ISO 12966-2:2017 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.

b) a "general" transmethylation/methylation procedure under sequential alkaline and acid conditions;

c) a BF3 transmethylation procedure;

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).

Le présent document spécifie quatre 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 exigences, les quatre méthodes de méthylation décrites sont les suivantes : la méthode de transméthylation "rapide" en conditions alcalines ; la méthode de transméthylation/méthylation "générale" en conditions alcalines et acides séquentielles ; la méthode de transméthylation au BF3 ; la méthode alternative reposant sur la transméthylation par catalyse acide de glycérides.
