Bulletin of the IDF N° 407/2006: 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 […]
Bulletin of the IDF N° 406/2006: New Applications of Mid-infra-red Spectrometry for the Analysis of Milk and Milk Products
Mid-infra-red spectrometry has long been used successfully for the compositional analysis of milk and its fat, protein and lactose components. This paper looks at new applications of the technology to cover the analysis of casein and free fatty acids.

ISO 5943 | IDF 88: 2006 – Cheese and processed cheese products – Determination of chloride content – Potentiometric titration method
This standard specifies a potentiometric titration method for the determination of the chloride content of cheese and processed cheese products. The method is applicable to all cheeses and processed cheese products containing more than 0,2 % (mass fraction) of chloride ion.
ISO 8870 | IDF 83: 2006 – Milk and milk-based products – Detection of thermonuclease produced by coagulase-positive staphylococci
This standard specifies a method for the detection of heat-stable DNase (thermonuclease) produced by coagulase-positive staphylococci in milk and milk-based products. The enzyme can be used as an indicator that staphylococcal growth has reached hazardous levels and reveal the potential presence of staphylococcal enterotoxins.
ISO 5550 | IDF 78: 2006 – Caseins and caseinates – Determination of moisture content (Reference method)
This standard specifies the reference method for the determination of the moisture content of all types of caseins and caseinates.
ISO 3976 | IDF 74: 2006 – Milk fat – Determination of peroxide value
This standard specifies a method for the determination of the peroxide value of anhydrous milk fat. The method is suitable for anhydrous milk fat having a peroxide value up to 1,3 mmol of oxygen per kilogram.
