Title: Determination of Phosphorus in Edible Oils by Spectrophotometry
Coordinator(s): M.
Pike
Remarks: ISO, AOCS, FOSFA
Completion Date: 1996 - project terminated
Progress:
A collaborative study did not meet current AOAC requirements for adoption,
although the statistical results were acceptable. After a preliminary
review of the study, the AOCS preferred the Food RA/NEN acid digestion
method.
This project has been superceded by ad hoc project 1/98: Determination
of Phosphorus by ICP. A collaborative study (AOCS/IUPAC) is running
during 1998/99, including a comparison of different methods for phosphorus
determination.
Last Update: 14 june 1999
