METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF ERUCIC ACID CONTENT IN RAPESEED

摘要

FIELD: fat-and-oil industry.;SUBSTANCE: claimed method includes rapeseed sample preparation for analysis and erucic acid content calculation in percents. Rapeseed sample preparation is carried out by incubation thereof at 23±0.2°C for 2 h followed by measurement of oil proton spin-spin relaxation time of the second component (T₂₂) (in msec), and erucic acid content (P_er in %) is calculated according to formula: P_er = 22.0-0.45T₂₂.;EFFECT: accelerated measurement method, simplified sample preparation.
