BS EN ISO 27107:2010 Animal and vegetable fats and oils. Determination of peroxide value. Potentiometric end-point determination

BS EN ISO 27107 is an International Standard which specifies a method for the potentiometric end-point determination of the peroxide value, in milliequivalents of active oxygen per kilogram, of animal and vegetable fats and oils.

BS EN ISO 27107 is applicable to all animal and vegetable fats and oils, fatty acids and their mixtures with peroxide values from 0 meq to 30 meq of active oxygen per kilogram. It is also applicable to margarines and fat spreads with varying water content. The method is not applicable to milk fats or lecithins.

A method for the iodometric (visual) determination of the peroxide value is given in ISO 3960. For milk fats, a method is specified in ISO 3976.
