Determination of Water Content of Butter Oil By Karl Fischer Titration

Water content of butter oil has hitherto been determined using an international standard method (ISO 5536 | IDF 23:2002) for the Karl Fischer titration using chloroform (trichloromethane) as additional solvent to methanol in the working medium. However, it has been shown that 1-octanol can replace toxic chloroform. The results of an international interlaboratory test of this method are described, showing that the new method using 1-octanol is equivalent to, or even better than, that using chloroform in terms of accuracy and precision of the results and the use of chemicals and titrators from different manufacturers has no significant influence on the results.

Pages: 5. Price: 7 Euro.


Bulletin: 406/2006
Payment Systems for Ex-Farm Milk - E-Form

Compilation of information on the pricing systems used in 29 IDF member countries to allow comparison of the systems used, based on the results of a questionnaire relating to payment systems in use in the year 2003. Data relate to the milk of cows but also buffaloes, sheep and goats for those countries where milk from these animals is produced in commercial quantities. Replies concern the basis for payment, the form of regulation of the market, compositional criteria, hygiene criteria, production practices, dairy farm assurance programmes (including environmental issues and animal welfare), maximum residue levels, frequency and mechanisms of payment, cooling, transport and seasonality.

106 pages, in English only.


Bulletin: 405/2006
Comprehensive review of scientific literature pertaining to nitrogen protein conversion factors

This IDF review of scientific literature shows that there is substantial scientific evidence to support a specific nitrogen protein conversion factor for specific sources of protein, rather than to introduce a single inaccurate nitrogen protein conversion factor, as has been envisaged in the revision of the Codex Standard for Infant Formula.
