Today the palm oil industry and its derived products have become of major importance for many countries.

Legal regulations with regards to environmental pollutants and adequate analytical controls of palm oil, palm kernel oil and derived products contribute to the protection of the customer and the environment and shall minimise long-term residues and contaminants.

Contamination

The following analytical parameters help checking for contaminations of the oil during its production, processing and storage:

• Dioxins, dioxin-like and non-dioxin-like PCBs

• Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

• Pesticides

• Heavy Metals

• Plasticizers, e.g. Phthalates

• Mineral Oil Hydrocarbons (C10-56)

• 3-MCPD and related compounds

• Mycotoxins (e.g. Aflatoxins)

Quality Characteristics

• Fatty acid profile

• Saponification value

• Unsaponifiable matter

• Melting point

• Iodine value

• Acid value

• Colour (Lovibond and Gardner)

• Solid fat content

• Carotenoids

• Tocopherols

• …

Additional offer

• Analysis of bleaching earth according to FEDIOL’s Code of Practice & Quality Assurance Agreement
