Determination of free fatty acids in edible oils by ¹H NMR spectroscopy

A novel ¹H NMR assay for the determination of FFA in edible oils is described. The analytical performance of the NMR assay is similar to that of the commonly used acid value method. A total of 120 edible oil samples were analysed by both approaches. Except for pumpkin seed oil, showing slight deviations, there was a good compliance between the results obtained from the two methods.

Traceability of the palm oil supply chain

Palm oil is mainly produced in Malaysia and Indonesia while the main users are India, China, Indonesia and the EU. For most of these users, the supply chain is long and complex, including overseas shipping. Procedures in this supply chain guarantee stepwise traceability as required by food safety regulations.
