What is ISO 771 about?
ISO 771 specifies a method for the determination of the moisture and volatile matter content of oilseed meals obtained by the extraction of oil from oilseeds by pressure and/or solvent.
Who is ISO 771for?
ISO 771 on determination of moisture and volatile matter content in oilseed meals is useful for:
- Food processing industry
- Agriculture sector
- Oilseeds industries
- Testing laboratories
Why should you use ISO 771?
The oilseeds cottonseed, soybeans, and sunflower seed are frequently used in the diets of cattle. Some of the more commonly used oilseed meals include peanut meal, canola meal, cottonseed meal, soybean meal, and sunflower meal.
Oilseed meals constitute the residues occurring as a by-product after the mechanical extraction of the oil. oilseed meals are commonly used in rations to provide protein and energy. The moisture and volatile matter content is expressed as a mass fraction in grams per 100 g.
ISO 771 helps you by providing test methods for determination of moisture and volatile content in the oilseed meals with accuracy and precision.
