The "Joint Committee for the Analysis of Fats, Oils, Fatty products, Related Products and Raw Materials (GA FETT)" has developed the following method for the determination of the Solid Fat Content (SFC) in fats and oils. It is intended to include this method in Section C, Chapter IV of the German Standard Methods. The method reflexes the need of the fats and oils industry to get fast results and was tested in an interlaboratory test with 16 laboratories from 6 European countries.
