What is BS EN 16934 - Determination of steryl glycosides in fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) about?
BS EN 16934 describes a procedure for the determination of steryl glycosides (SG) content in fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) in a range between 20 mg/kg and 38 mg/kg.
The steryl glycosides (SG) content of a FAME sample is determined by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry detector (GC-MS) with cold on column (COC) or programmed temperature vaporization (PTV) injection and measuring via selected ion monitoring (SIM).
Who is BS EN 16934 - Determination of steryl glycosides in fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) for?
BS EN 16934 on determination of steryl glycosides in fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) is useful for:- Petroleum industry
- Automotive fuels and fat and oil industry
- Testing houses and laboratories
Why should you use BS EN 16934 - Determination of steryl glycosides in fatty acid methyl esters (FAME)?
In recent years, as technology advances in the era of Industry 4.0, the development of renewable energy such as biodiesel has been widely researched around the world. By-products will be in the form of sterol glycosides in Fatty Acid Methyl Esters at the final station of biodiesel production in the maturation tank.
The steryl glycosides (SG) content of a FAME sample is determined by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry detector (GC-MS) with cold on column (COC) or programmed temperature vaporization (PTV) injection and measuring via selected ion monitoring (SIM). Steryl glycosides (SG) are mainly present in vegetable oils.
The gas chromatographic with mass spectrometry method specified in BS EN 16934 used for the determination of steryl glycosides in fatty acid methyl esters has various benefits such as improved resolution, improved analysis speed, wider sample choice, fully quantitative, more sensitivity, storage of results and records.
BS EN 16934 provides guidance on the identification of IS as well as SG peaks and determining steryl glycosides in FAME using GC-MS method with accuracy and precision.
