What is BS 684-2.15-Calculation of total saponifiable matter in animal and vegetable fats and oils about?
BS 684 is a British standard on the methods of analysis of fats and fatty oils that discusses the calculation of total saponifiable matter in animal and vegetable fats and oils to detect the amount of free fatty acid that is present in animal and vegetable fats and oils.
BS 684-2.15 is the fifteenth part of the BS 684 series that describes a method for the calculation of total saponifiable matter in animal and vegetable fats and oils.
Who is BS 684-2.15-Calculation of total saponifiable matter in animal and vegetable fats and oils for?
BS 684-2.15 on the calculation of total saponifiable matter in animal and vegetable fats and oils is useful for:
- Food scientists
- Animal and vegetable oil manufacturers
- Food technologists

- Food health and safety departments
Why should you use BS 684-2.15-Calculation of total saponifiable matter in animal and vegetable fats and oils?
Saponification value or saponification number (SV or SN) represents the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide (KOH), or sodium hydroxide (NaOH) required to saponify one gram of fat under the conditions specified. It is a measure of the average molecular weight (or chain length) of all the fatty acids present in the sample as triglycerides.
BS 684-2.15 provides you with guidance on the calculation of total saponifiable matter in animal and vegetable fats and oils, methods, test reports, etc.
The guidance provided by BS 684-2.15 assist you in the calculation of total saponifiable matter in animal and vegetable fats and oils, improving the quality and subsistence of animal and vegetable fats and oils and ensuring animal and vegetable fats and oils are free from contaminations.
With obedience and compliance to BS 684-2.15, you can enhance animal and vegetable fats and oils’ effectiveness and efficacy, create new products, and launch them successfully in a global market.
