SKU: FP-FAT-OIL

Oils & Fats

The oils and fats proficiency tests comprise nutritional determination as well as quality indices determination. Some proficiency tests will require the reporting of individual fatty acids. The fatty acid profile of a test material will be generated to determine the individual fatty acids to be reported; this is not always known a long time in advance of the PT but will be specified in the instructions. There are other proficiency tests in the Programme with oils and fats as the matrix, see under the sections headed Migration – Overall & Specific, Environmental Contaminants, and Pesticide Residues-Animal Products/Fats and Oils.
