Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 16931 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 11, Animal
and vegetable fats and oils.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 16931:2001), which has been technically
revised.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 16931:2009(E)

Animal and vegetable fats and oils — Determination of
polymerized triacylglycerols by high-performance size-
exclusion chromatography (HPSEC)
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method using high-performance size-exclusion chromatography
(HPSEC) to determine the contents, as mass fractions, of polymerized triacylglycerols (PTAGs) in oils and fats
which contain at least 3 % (from peak areas) of these polymers. PTAGs (strictly speaking dimeric and
oligomeric triacylglycerols) are formed during the heating of fats and oils, and thus, the method serves to
assess the thermal deterioration of frying fats after use.
This method is applicable to frying fats and fats and oils that have been thermally treated, provided that the
content of PTAGs is at least 3 %. It can also be applied to the determination of polymers in fats for animal
feedstuffs, although in this case, the extraction method used can have an influence on the result.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
polymerized triacylglycerols
PTAGs
constituents of heated fats and oils that are determined by HPSEC under the conditions specified in this
International Standard
NOTE The content of PTAGs is expressed as a percentage mass fraction, in grams per 100 g, of all peaks from
eluted polymerized and mono-, di-, and triacylglycerols (PTAGs, MAGs, DAGs, and TAGs).
4 Principle
The sample is homogeneously mixed with tetrahydrofuran (THF) and PTAGs separated by gel permeation
chromatography according to molecular size. The compounds are detected by means of a refractive index
detector.
NOTE For better resolution, two columns in series (2 × 300 mm) are used.
