Scope

This document specifies a method for the separation of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) from middle distillates by liquid chromatography (LC) and for the quantitative determination of individual esters by gas chromatography (GC).
Independently from the origin of the middle distillate, this method is applicable to FAME of vegetable or animal origin that contain fatty acid methyl esters between C6 and C24. The method is suitable for the separation and determination of FAME from middle distillates with FAME contents of at least 2 % (V/V).
