AOAC 982.30 Tocopherol Profiling in Vegetable Oils
The AOAC International Method 982.30 is a well-established procedure for the determination of tocopherols in vegetable oils, including both alpha-tocopherol and beta-tocopherol forms. This method is widely used by industries involved in food production, quality management, R&D, and procurement to ensure the integrity and safety of their products.
The primary focus of this service involves the detailed analysis of tocopherols using chromatographic techniques. The process begins with sample preparation, which includes extraction procedures tailored specifically for vegetable oils. The extracted samples are then analyzed through HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) equipped with a UV detector and occasionally a fluorescence detector, depending on the specific requirements.
The precision of this method ensures accurate quantification of tocopherols, providing critical data for compliance with international standards such as ISO 21746:2018 and ASTM D6979-15. The results not only aid in the quality control process but also contribute to the formulation of products that meet consumer expectations regarding health benefits derived from tocopherols.
In-depth analysis can reveal variations in tocopherol profiles among different batches or types of vegetable oils, which is crucial for consistency and product differentiation. This information helps companies make informed decisions about sourcing raw materials and optimizing their manufacturing processes to enhance the nutritional value of their products.
