<p>This International Standard specifies a method for the detection and identification of a volatile organic contaminant</p>
<p>in edible oils.</p>
<p>It is applicable to the identification of volatile industrial chemicals in both crude and refined edible oils that are</p>
<p>suspected of being contaminated. It also enables determination of the concentration of the contaminant.</p>
<p>This International Standard is not applicable to the determination of the concentration of chemicals that may react</p>
<p>with the edible oil or with one of its natural components. In these cases, the presence of the contaminant may</p>
<p>sometimes be established on a qualitative basis. Also, this International Standard is not applicable to non-volatile</p>
<p>chemicals.</p>
<p>This method has been shown to be applicable for the identification of the following compound classes:</p>
<p>_ saturated halogenated hydrocarbons;</p>
<p>_ unsaturated halogenated hydrocarbons;</p>
<p>_ esters; aldehydes; alcohols; amines; ketones; ethers;</p>
<p>_ cyclic and aromatic compounds;</p>
<p>_ nitrogen compounds;</p>
<p>_ acrylates; etc.</p>
<p>The method has been evaluated for concentrations in the range of 1 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg.</p>
