COMMISSION ON OILS, FATS, AND DERIVATIVES
Number: 660/38/89
Title: Detection of Cross Contamination by Volatile Industrial
Chemicals of Edible Oils Transported in Bulk (Revised Title)
Coordinator(s): M.
Pike
Remarks: FOSFA
Completion Date: 1996
Objectives:
The method is being used by industry, but WG 2/88 study has been limited
to only a few laboratories due to lack of equipment. The Coordinator
will send the method to F. Mordret. The method should be considered
for publication as a draft method. The WG 2/88 will be closed.
Progress:
Project Completed - This method is problematic: the precision
data is very poor, and it is impossible to run further ring tests. The
method could only be published as a guide to the detection - it is proposed
to add the method to the next edition of the 'Standard Methods for
the Analysis of Oils, Fats and Derivatives', 8th edition. The report
and method are available from the Coordinator.
