This report describes the preparation of a set of two butter fat reference materials (pure and adulterated butter fat) and the measurement exercises that led to the method-specific certification of the content (relative mass fraction) of the triglycerides C24 - C54 (even numbers) and...

The mycotoxin aflatoxin M1 (AfM1) is a serious food safety hazard for which the European Commission has already established a maximum permissible level of 0.05 µg/kg AfM1 in milk and milk products. This report describes the preparation of three whole milk powder reference materials ERM-BD282...

This report describes the preparation and certification of IRMM-805. This reference material is comprised of a set of 12 tristearin/triolein blends (primary triglyceride samples) for the solid fat content (SFC) determination by low-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (LR-NMR). The...
