What is BS 684-2.27-Determination of bleachability of animal and vegetable fats and oils about?
BS 684 is a British standard on methods of analysis of fats and fatty oil that discusses the determination of bleachability of animal and vegetable fats and oils to ensure animal and vegetable fats and oils are safe for consumption.
BS 684-2.27 is the twenty-seventy subpart of the second part of the BS 684 series that describes methods for the determination of the bleachability of animal and vegetable fats and oils.
The methods reflect industrial practice in the refining of fats. Method A is for technical tallow and animal grease. Method B is for crude palm oil.
Note: Method B may be suitable for other vegetable fats when a two-stage bleaching process is to be simulated.
Who is BS 684-2.27-Determination of bleachability of animal and vegetable fats and oils for?
BS 684-2.27 on the determination of bleachability of animal and vegetable fats and oils is useful for:
- Animal and vegetable fats and oils manufacturers
- Food scientists
- Food technologists
- Food laboratories
- Food health and safety departments
Why should you use BS 684-2.27-Determination of bleachability of animal and vegetable fats and oils?
Bleachability is the colour of a sample of crude fat after it has been subjected to a specified procedure intended to simulate the industrial bleaching process. Bleaching is used to remove or convert undesired by-products to harmless ones from fats and oils. This will guarantee that such compounds do not interfere with the processing and that the requirements for human food are being met.
BS 684-2.27 provides you with guidance on apparatus, method A, method B, sampling, test sample, the procedures for method A: for technical tallow and animal grease, method B: for crude palm oil, expression of results, test report, etc.
The methods and procedures provided by BS 684-2.27 assist you in the determination of bleachability of animal and vegetable fats and oils, improving the quality and subsistence of animal and vegetable fats and oils and ensuring it is free from contaminations.
With obedience and compliance to BS 684-2.27, you can enhance animal and vegetable fats and oils’ effectiveness and efficacy, create new products, and launch them successfully in a global market.
