ISO 8294

The ISO 8294 standard specifies the method for determining the copper content in animal and vegetable fats and oils. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this standard is critical for industries involved in food production and quality control, as excessive copper content can impact both the quality and safety of fats and oils used in food products.

ISO 8294 outlines the analytical procedure used to accurately measure the concentration of copper, which is important for maintaining product quality and meeting regulatory standards. Copper contamination in fats and oils can lead to oxidation, negatively affecting the taste, color, and shelf life of the product. The standard ensures that manufacturers can assess and monitor copper levels in their products, thereby reducing the risk of quality degradation and ensuring consumer safety.
