Bulletin of the IDF N° 440/ 2009: Interlaboratory Collaborative Study on the Kjeldahl Reference Method for Nitrogen Determination in Sheep and Goat Milk according to ISO 8968-1/2 | IDF 20-1/2
The reference method for determination of nitrogen in milk (International Standard ISO 8968-1/2|IDF 20-1/2) was subjected to an international interlaboratory study to establish its precision characteristics (reproduci-bility, R, and repeatability, r) when the method is applied to sheep milk and goat milk. This paper is the report of the interlaboratory studies. Keywords: sheep milk, goat […]
Bulletin of the IDF N° 439/ 2009: Interlaboratory Collaborative Studies on Reference Method ISO 1211 | IDF 1 for the Determination of the Fat Content in Cow Milk, Sheep Milk and Goat Milk
The gravimetric reference method for determination of fat in milk (International Standard ISO 1211| IDF 1) was subjected to new international interlaboratory studies to establish its precision characteristics (reproducibility, R, and repeatability, r). In these new studies the method was applied to cow whole milk, cow reduced fat milk and cow skimmed milk and to […]

Bulletin of the IDF N° 434/2009: International Collaborative Study on the Gas-Liquid Chromatographic Method for the Determination of Milk Fat Purity in Milk and Milk Products by Analysis of Triglycerides – Draft international standard ISO 17678 | IDF 202
International Collaborative Study Adulteration with cheaper fats of milkfat naturally present in pure milk products is not a new problem but the methods of analysis available to detect adulteration and determine its extent have only been sufficiently sensitive to carry out the task satisfactorily relatively recently. A new draft International standard has been produced by […]
